Australian musicians are not paid highly enough, according to Georg Schneevoigt, famous Finnish conductor, "After years of hard work Many earn only £6 or £7 a week, which is not much more than. the typists’s £4 or £5," he said recently, He advocates Sunday afternoon concerts at which all sections of the community could hear good music at low prices, "They would greatly help Australian musical progress, and should be afranged by the broadcasting people, with the help of Government bodies. At such concerts in Finland you can hear the ‘Ninth Symphony’ for a shilling."
