Up New Zealand!
"HE New Zealand Music Society’s musical news letter from London must surely go on record as one of the programmes of the month, both in the material and in its presentation. Dennis Dowling with William Clark, of Dunedin, as his accompanist, sang Handel and Scarlatti; Rowena Jackson spoke with charming informality about her work with the Sadler’s Wells Ballet; and Jack McCaw, one-time clarinetist with the National Orchestra and now -a member of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, played Milhaud’s Scaramouche Suite with his wife Ann Broomhead at the piano, That’s all. Well, not quite, for the music was so excellently performed and the whole programme so felicitously introduced by tenor Andrew Gold, the
Society’s president, that it was as pleasant a’half hour’s broadcast as one could wish for. We are Sometimes chided for being smug and complacent. The achievement of this programme could never have been arrived at in an atmosphere of smugness or complacency. Sir Frederick Doidge, giving the programme his blessing, ‘was. obviously proud of London New Zealanders’ accomplishments, And well we might be, too. If the next five musical news letters from the New Zealand Music Society in London are up to the first, this will be a monthly
programme’ to look forward to.
