A New Zealand Singer Abroad
ONCERT tours in Central and Southern Europe in the two years before the war gave Mae Brodie, who will give a studio recital from 1YA on April 16, the chance to collect a useful repertoire of modern songs, "The attitude to music in European countries before the war was most encouraging," she said, when The Listener met her last week, "Wealthy women make it the most important part ‘of their activities to encourage music and the concert habit. By their patronage they make it possible for many artists to give recitals and come before the public, Many of the wealthy citizens have their own concert halls, and sponsor concert parties to perform throughout a season. Of course only front. rank artists are engaged. But this patronage by wealthy women is highly necessary, just as it was in past centuries." On April 16, Madame Brodie will sing songs of Richard Strauss, Hahn, Respighi and Saint-Saens. Early in May she will give a public recital in Auckland.
