Publicity and Reviews: 

A review of the concert appeared in The Scotman on Monday 14 May 1917.  The review commented that this concert was better supported than the opening concert and that it was pleasing "to find the public apparently so ready to embrace the opportunity afforded of hearing some good music."     It was also noted that Professor Tovey led the piano concerto from the keyboard.
