PROFESSOR of BASSOON
HE BBC Midland Light Orchestra which is to be heard in Time for Music, a new series of programmes starting from 4YZ at 7.45 p.m. on Thursday, . June 30, has’ proved very popular with British listeners since it was formed in 1941. Conducted by Gilbert Vinter (right) it consists of 31 players, many of them former members of BBC orchestras that were abolished at the beginning of the war. Vinter himself was brought up in a military tradition of music, although you wouldn’t notice it in the way he conducts the light and tuneful pieces that make up the bulk of these programmes. He studied at the Royal Military School of Music and the Royal Academy, and in 1930 joined the BBC Military Band. During the next 10 years he played with many of London’s leading orchestras, and in 1938 was appointed Professor of Bassoon at the Royal Academy of Musit. He served with the R.A.F. during the war, and after this formed the International Light Orchestra,
which was‘heard last year in the popular series Music of the People. It has always been his policy to broadcast what he calls "the better type of light music."
