HARVARD ALUMNUS WILL LEAD BOSTON SYMPHONY

C. D. Clifton '12 Will Conduct Orchestra in Sanders Tonight-Handel, Griffes, Wagner, Sibelius to be Played

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Boston Symphony Orchestra, continuing its series of Cambridge concerts, will play in Sanders Theatre this evening at 8 o'clock a selection of rather well known composition. Dr. Serge Koussevitsky will not lead this concert, but has handed the baton over to C. D. Clifton '12, who is acting as guest conductor, this week.

Under the direction of Mr. Clifton, who received a master's degree in music from Harvard, the Boston musicians will render Handel's "Concerto Grosso for a String Orchestra in F Major" as the first number. This will be followed by Griffes "Poem for Flute and Orchestra", a new work, for which Georges Laurent, a regular member of the orchestra, will carry the solo parts. Next on the program will be "Daybreak" and Siegfried's "Rhine Journey," excerpts from Wagner's famous opera "Die Gotterdammenung," Sibelius' "Symphony No. 2 in 11 Major," one of the best known of the Finnish composer's symphonic pieces will conclude the program.
