On April 6th, one of our Members—Dr. Crump— 
conducted the first performance in Burnley of Elgar's 
‘“‘ Dream of Gerontius.” 
With the assistance of Mr John Coates and the 
Hallé Orchestra, an interpretation of this fine work 
was given, which has been declared by competent 
critics to be one of the finest in this country. 
The Committee hope that next year will see an 
awakening in the interests of the Club amongst those 
members who have not been particularly active 
during the two last Sessions, and especially that the 
younger members will be stimulated to take a more 
active part in its affairs.
