TALENTED PIANIST BACK ON LEAVE
I Recitals by Peter Cooper |
(CORPORAL PETER COOPER (above), the young Christchurch pianist, for whom a promising career was interrupted by the war, is expected to return to New Zealand from Australia in July for a period of leave from the A.LF., of which he is a member, Tentative dates have already been chosen for piano recitals at Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. Corporal Cooper was a pupil of Alfred Bunz in Christchurch and, before the war made such .things impossible, it was hoped to assist him to travel abroad for advanced study. He went to Australia three years ago, and played over stations of the Australian Broadcasting Commission many times, and also on the concert platform. In 1941 he became accompanist to Dorothy Helmrich, the famous Australian lieder singer, and when she was in New Zealand this year, she praised his work enthusiastically. Since enlisting in June, 1942, he has been giving recitals in military camps in Australia, mainly under the auspices of Army Education. : The probable dates of Peter Cooper’s broadcasts are: 3YA, July 2 and 5; 2YA, July 8 and 9; 1YA, July 11 and 14.
