IYA MUSICAL COMMITTEE
The meeting of the IYA Musical and Dramatic Committee was held at the Auckland studios of the Radio Broadcasting Company on Friday. Present: Mr. Karl Atkinson (in the chair), Auckland Gramophone Society; Mrs. A. Carr-Tibbitts, New Zealand League of Penwomen; Mr. V. Trask, Athenian Club; Mr. J. F. Montague, Auckland Comedy Players; Mr. F. McCallum, Little Theatre Society; Mr. J. Tait, Society of Musicians; Mr. P. Stewart, Royal Auckland Choir; Mr. L. C. Barnes, station director at IYA; Mr. D. Wrathall, programme organiser at IYA.
With regard to the proposed IYA choir, it was reported by the conductor that steps were being taken to form the choir and that rehearsals would begin in the near future on Monday evenings. It was also reported that at least nine concerts throughout the year would be given from the studio by the choir. It was stated that the studio officials were endeavouring to make arrangements for a night of New Zealand works—both musical and dramatic—to be put on at IYA.
The question of the frequent appearance of certain artists was brought forward and the committee was advised that this would be obviated by new artists and more novelty programmes.
