Item 49 - Address by Donald Tovey to be read out to the [Reid] Orchestra on his behalf

1 item

Jokes that Mr Jupp [Walter Watt Jupp, leader of the orchestra?] ought to have addressed the orchestra: 'Children - Good children!'. It is an asset to the reputation of the orchestra that other conductors have enjoyed working with them; knows that they will uphold this reputation in their work with David Stephen [for the concert on February 2, 1930] whose orchestral compositions Tovey has 'long admired' and who is both enthusiastic as the success of the orchestra's work and capable of ensuring it. Tovey's voice is recovering, and he should be able to use it by the next rehearsal.
