Tonight at 7:15 o'clock the Pierian Sodality opens its 130th anniversary season with a sight-reading evening in Sanders Theatre. Club members state that the session of "cord and discord" will last until it stops.
Conductor Malcolm H. Holmes and the managerial staff have spent the last week trying to find extra parts to the music and extra stands for the players in anticipation of a large crowd. The Radcliffe Orchestra has promised to come in full force, and other musicians ranging from students in the Shady Hill School to an alumnus of the Class of 1888, have been invited.
The works the musicians hope to read include: Cesar Franck's D-Minor Symphony, Haydn's Surprise Symphony, Brahm's Second Symphony, Mozart's Overture to The Magic Flute and his Serenade in D, a Frescobaldi Fugue in G-Minor arranged by Mr. Holmes, and Bach's prelude and Fugue in B Flat Minor from the Well-Tempered Clavichord, arranged by R. U. Jameson '30, a former Pierian Manager.
