NBS ORCHESTRA
Sir-As a keen lover of chamber music, I would like to voice my appreciation of the quality of the service given to the Dominion by the NBS String Orchestra, and especially the quartet under Vincent. Aspey’s leadership. From time to time we hear broadcasts of recordings of the finest music rendered by the world’s most famous groups of performers, but I venture to say that the work of our local musicians suffers little if anything in comparison; it is always full of character and individuality, confidence and technical skill, These remarks apply also to the NBS Light Orchestra, whose programmes are always delightful to listen to. All the artists concerned are doing more than merely giving pleasure to many thousands: they are raising the standard of music throughout the Dominion, and with every performance add to the number of people who can appreciate the best in classical music. New Zealanders have every reason to be proud of this service and. grateful to those who render it.
