THE NATIONAL ORCHESTRA
Sir,-I hope it is not too’ late-for Auckland at least-to inaugurate a Society of Friends of the National Orchestra for the 1954 season. It is an idea which has long been in my own mind, and which was mentioned by our visiting music-critic, Mr. Arthur Jacobs, towards the end of last year. I am not sure whether such a society should concern itself with providing or offering accommodation for visiting orchestral players, as Mr. Jacobs suggested; but I am confident that it could be the means whereby the orchestra would play to more enlightened and informed audiences. Meetings to discuss and learn something about the programmes to be played could accomplish a great deal to this end. I trust our local radio authorities will consider the question and vive us a lead.

(Auckland).
(This object has been considered for some time and a plan of action in the four main centres will be completed later this year. It will be discussed, before it is finally shaped, by Professor Keys and others interested.- ")
