Concert Of Gaiety And Good Humour

The Hongkong Concert Orchestra has now os- tablished a tradition of gaiety and good humour, and last night's concert at the reconditioned Ritz was greatly enjoyed by a large and appreciative audience,

Mr Victor Ardy has by now fully got the measure of his orchestra's capabilities and his audience's pre- ferences, and he gave us a cheerful and pleasing pro- gramme of popular and light-hearted works. He is wise to concentrate on music which goes with a swing and requires vigour and energy (and at times considerable virtuosity) and to steer clear of the "sentimental" in s Hight music.
