Shipp. TO PLAY MAY 20 Symphonic Organization to Present Franck Work in Minor FUND CAMPAIGN SHOWS PROGRESS Majestic, plastic, perfectly beau tiful." are M. Vincent d'Indy's words describing the Symphony In Minor of Caesar Franck, which will be the principal composition to be played by the Wilmington Symphony Orchestra at its spring con cert in the. Playhouse, Sunday. May 20.

It is one of the most popular works In the repertoire of the lead ing orchestras of the world and no doubt a great deal of its popular ity lies in its wide range of musical expressions. Local music lovers are particularly fortunate to have it included in the next concert of the Wilmington Orchestra as It has not been heard in concert locally for many seasons. In the symphony the exalted mysticism of Franck is frequently re vealed. The score soars at times to one of exaltation, others of its vary ing theses are full of the tender ness so characteristic of the work of Caesar Franck. It is written in, three movements oDening with the lento, allegro non troppo.

The second part contains the haunting solo for English horn and the odd piz zicato passages for strings. The third and final movement is marked allegro non troppo. Other compositions of a lighter nature will complete the program. The orchestra campaign for funds to enable it to give at least three concerts each season is progressing. The committee points out any con tributions either large or small will be gratefully received.

It is felt that the people of Wilmington hare In the orchestra a local institution which it is hoped they will sup port. The orchestra comprises about 70 players including both amateurs and professionals who give their time and services free la order that this city may have an opportunity to hear other than "canned music" Other cities about the same size as Wilmington sup port symphony orchestras and it is H1 KiMr its orchestra. Contributions should be sent to the Wilmington Sym phoay Club. P. O.
