The Music Box

Feature of the Boston Symphony's concert this evening in Sanders Theatre will be the Third Symphony of Edward Burlingame Hill '94. At its first hearings last Friday and Saturday in Symphony Hall the work was enthusiastically received; the composer was repeatedly recalled.

Dr. Koussevitzky's conducting of the new composition was without exaggeration magnificent. Although the second movement leaves one with a vague sense of incompleteness, as if the point were never quite reached, or as if the composer had momentarily run short of ideas, the symphony as a whole is interesting and brilliantly orchestrated, utilizing the full powers of the orchestra.

The program will open with Mozart's Symphony in A major and close with Mendelssohn's "Scotch Symphony" in A minor.
