Conductor Wishnow presented a well-arranged program, leading off with Beethoven's "Overture to This overture Is one of the best known concert overtures. The opening movement was somewhat ragged but the or chestra played the second move ment with a professional feel ing. The "trumpet call to free dom" opened the finish In a brilliant style.
