The second half of the present series of B.B.C. Symphony

Concerts opens on Wednesday with a performance of Beet- hoven's Seventh Symphony and the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto, with Huberman as soloist. The series continues until the end of March. We shall hear Schonberg conducting his Variations for Orchestra (Op. 81) ; Schnabel playing the Emperor Concerto ; a performance of Hindemith's new oratorio, Das Unaufhorliche ; and, to mention only one other feature, a first performance over here of part of the much talked-of Wozzedt. From which it will be seen that the second half of the series promises a much more adventurous fare than the first half provided.
