WELLINGTON SINGERS
To The Editor, "The Listener," Sir,-It is very gratifying to note the number of young singers who are receiving the opportunity of broadcasting from 1YA, 3YA and 4YA. It is delightful for New Zealand radio audiences to listen to the youth of their country, but where are our Wellington singers? ‘nat we have them, I know! The Melba Scholarship Preliminary Contest was held here recently, and brought forth some really excellent talent: if I am correct, a Wellington competitor was runner-up for the New Zealand finals. While appreciating the more experienced men and
women singers, radio audiences would welcome the freshness of these young voices. There are several young women in Wellington who, in my opinion, far surpass the standard of some of the older artists, and why should not some of the best of them be heard?
Yours, etc.,
J.E.
