State Quartet for N.S. W.
EADERS who saw a recent news item in The Listener about the recording in Australia of a string quartet by Alfred Hill may remember that Neville Cardus, the English music critic now living in Sydney, was quoted as suggesting that New South Wales should follow Queensland’s example in subsidising a permanent string quartet ensemble. Since then something has evidently come of the idea, for the Sydney Sun of September 11 carried an interview with Alfred Hill himself on the question of the "promise of the Acting-Premier (Mr. Baddeley) to recommend a State subsidy for a string quartet." Mr. Hill warmly applauded the announcement with a proviso. "The first thing to do," he said, "is to form the quartet in principle and leave the selection of the personnel to experts. The Government should no mote say who is to be in the quartet than it should say who is to be in an orchestra,"
