That on 27 March 1914 included the first London performance of the revised edition of Delius, In a Summer Garden and the first performances of R. Vaughan Williams, A London Symphony and Arnold Bax, Three Songs, with orchestra (with Miss Dilys Jones).

Warwick-Evans) with M. Ricardo Viñes-Roda (piano). The programme includes historical and analytical programme notes with musical examples.
