Delightful Programs Arranged For National Music Week Here For ten years Wilmington has en joyed a full schedule of Music week programs. The interest shown in these Music week celebrations in Wilmington has been marked throughout the state, and has help ed give rise to the statement heard' by a local musician that “Wilming ton is the most musical city in the state.” The 1940 schedule of programs for Wilmington’s Music week should be of great interest and should be a fair indication of the musical development of the city during the past year. One type of program will be in cluded which has not heretofore been scheduled—a recital of re cordings, which the Wilmington Museum of Art is arranging for Wednesday afternoon at 4 o’clock. The evening programs are anti cipated from year to year by music lovers, and will feature as usual the closing concerts of the senior and junior music clubs, the one annual combined choir program, the “school night” festival and the Williston concert. The New Han over High school glee club and band concert, scheduled to take place later on in the month, is to be considered a part of Wilming ton’s spring music feast, and is an ticipated with the greatest interest. The one concert given by out of-town musicians during Music wepk this year will take place Wednesday night at Great hall.
