NATIONAL ORCHESTRA
Sir,-May I express thanks and good wishes to the NZBS upon the establishment of the National Symphony Orchestra. I also repeat the hope, expressed in one of your recent editorials, that firmness will be shown in resisting demands for the premature appearance of the orchestra before it has had time to be welded into a cohesive unit. It will take a lot of hard work and many, many combined practices before first-class performances can be expected. But it is difficult to see how successful rehearsals can be held when, for the greater part of the year, the orchestra is dispersed into one large and three smaller sections in cities miles apart. No doubt this arrangement has been made: because of a claim that players taken for the orchestra might "denude" some centres of
players. That claim is shortsighted. What really happens is that players being transferred to the National Orchestra leave behind them openings and opportunities which will be a stimulus for other musicians.
