Terence Vaughan
: [DURING the war thousands of New Zealand troops became familiar with the face and name of Terence Vaughan when he was Musical Director and Producer of the Kiwi Troop Enter‘tainment Group. He became even more | widely known after the war when the | ever-popular "Kiwis" toured New Zealand and Australia under his directidn for several years. From 1950 his work in radio programmes as conductor of the 2YA Studio Orchestra, and his ap- | pearances as guest conductor with the National Orchestra, brought him recognition as one of the leading musical figures of this country -though, in point of fact, he is now living and | working in Melbourne, But although his talents as a producer, pianist, conductor and composer _of clever novelties have been appreci- | ated by many, his capabilities as a | Serious composer are often overlooked. In 1934 he attended the Royal Academy of Music in London, where he concen- | trated particularly on conducting and composition. Besides winning several of composition prizes awarded by the | Academy, he has also won several prizes _in this country, the most notable being that offered by the NZBS in 1949 for a setting to the Royal Ode, The Stream | and the Discovery, written by Ruth | France.
Terence Vaughan also won the prize in a competitien conducted by the Wellington Chamber Music Society for a chamber work by a New Zealand composer. This was the trio Dialectic, a work for violin, ’cello and piano, which is currently being heard in the series Music by New Zealand Composers. It will be heard from 3YC and 2YC at 7.0 p.m. and 7.55 p.m. respectively, on Monday, September 6. The players are Ruth Pearl (violin), Marie Vandewart (cello) and Dorothy Davies (piano). -_--- a
