Music School Documentary

AVID KOHN, of the NZBS staff in Wellington, spent some time at the Fifth Cambridge Music School with a recording unit recently. About 150 people gathered. at St. Peter’s School, Cambridge, between January 15 and 27, Most of them lived in, and were

provided for by the organiser, Donald Rutherford, of Adult Education, Auckland; a few lived out and came by the day. The Director of the School was Owen Jensen, also of the Auckland Regional Council of Adult Education, and the tutors included Alex Lindsay, the Wellington violinist and conductor, Frederick Page, George Hopkins, and the harpsichord player Layton Ring, who was also in charge of recorders. Within the School as a whole there were various groups: a listeners’ group dealing with musical appreciation, a composers’ group, who, for an exercise did a ballet; a choral group, and for the first time a ballet group under the tutorship of Miss Whitford, of Auckland. They worked strenuously on Handel’s Alcina Ballet. According to David Kohn, everybody had a good time. During the day they worked at music, and.in the evenings danced to music from their own dance band; professional musicians, teachers, amateurs, and non-playing music lovers. Recordings were taken in most of the classes, tutors were interviewed, and musical recordings were made of the choral groups and of the two orchestras formed from members of thé School. Out of this material a half-hour documentary has been made, which will be broadcast from 2YA at 7.30 p.m. on Friday, February 17, and later from the other National stations.
