Christopher Grier looks at some non-broadcast musical events taking place in London and the South-East during the coming mid-week.
News of Music Making
Concert Calendar recently celebrated its first birthday. One thing people do in a concert inter val is discuss what forthcoming concerts they are going to, and this is exactly what we do in Concert Calendar. It advertises non-broadcast musical events throughout the country.
We have a fairly regular team of musicians to introduce the programme and we also try to include interesting interpolations - in recent weeks we have heard Ursula Vaughan Williams, Alan Rawsthorne, Richard Rodney Bennett, and Anarzej Panufnik.
In Concert Calendar we cover certain regions on certain days (London and the South-East on Mondays and Fridays, the North on Tuesdays, the Midlands and East Anglia on Wednesdays and Northern Ireland or Scotland, and Wales and the West on Thursdays), but the whole country can listen to the Music Programme, and it's interesting for everyone to know what music goes on up and down this very musical country of ours.
I am continually being asked how I obtain my information about concerts. Well, I rely on our listeners. I believe that any good music given with good intent deserves an audience so all you amateur choral societies and orchestras please send me details of your performances. The address is: Concert Calendar, Broadcasting House, London, W1 - but please include all details and make sure they reach me at least three weeks before your performance. I cannot promise to mention everything, but I can promise to consider it

by KENNETH GRAHAM
' An enthusiasm for Edgar Allan Poe,' wrote Henry James. ' is the mark of a decidedly primitive stage of reflection.' In this re-examination of Poe's stories, Dr. Graham. lecturer in American Literature at the University of Southampton. argues that ' there has never been a more oppressed and restricted imagination that still produced memorable writing.'
