SENOR CASALS' CONCERT

[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR]

Sta,—I hope you will allow me to draw the attention of your readers to the concert which is to be given by Senor Pablo Casals at the Albert Hall on Tuesday, March 28th, at 8.55 p.m., for the benefit of destitute Spanish children. This concert has been initiated entirely by Senor Casals himself, and it is the generous gift of one of the world's greatest artists to the suffering children of Spain. To us music-lovers in England it will be the one and only appearance of Senor Casals in this country before he leaves for an extended tour in South America, and it also offers the unique opportunity of hearing him play three concertos (Haydn, Elgar and Dvofak) in one evening.—Yours faithfully,

EDWARD J. DENT.
