UNIVERSITY TRIO

"Chamber Music in Otago HEN Doctor Galway visited Wales in 1938 he was most impressed by the work of the instrumental trios attached to three of the four Welsh colleges, and when he made the suggestion that the bequest of the late Dr. William Evans should be used to provide a similar trio for the University of Otago it met with the whole-hearted approval of the Professorial Board and the Council. With the aid of the Trio it is hoped to bring chamber music within the experience of students of every faculty. During the session regular (and free) recitals will be given for staff and students, and the trio will also provide illustrations for certain lectures in the Music Department. Outside the University there will be a series of four subscription concerts a year for the public, and several for secondary schools. At the end of the university ‘session the Trio will probably go on tour in Otago and Southland under the auspices of the Adult Education Movement. A photo of the University Trio’ appears on page 25. Two of the members, Gladys Bate (violin) and Francis Bate -Cecello), have a dominion-wide reputation through their association with the Christchurch pianist Ernest Jenner in chamber music recitals. Maurice Till, the pianist, though still in his early "twenties, has already more than justified "his inclusion. Listeners will have their ‘first opportunity of hearing the Trio on Monday, May 30, at 8 o’clock from 4YA ‘when they will illustrate Professor Galway’s Masterpieces of Music, from the studio by playing Arensky’s Trio in D Minor. Later works presented by Professor Galway will also be performed by the Trio.

Half-a-MINute with MIN. There are a host of cleaning and polishing jobs you can do better with MIN Furniture Cream. A little MIN applied with a cloth quickly removes fingermarks and grime from doors and cupboards. Ideal for enamelled surfaces and paintwork, and of course the finest treatment for highly polished surfaces such as Pianos, Radios, etc. Half-a-MINute with MIN makes a marvellous difference. Save money, too, because MIN to-day sells at the pre-war price of 1/7d. MIN is sold in a very convenient, distinctive red tin. Ask your grocer.
