ALFRED HILL
Sir-I am writing on the composer Alfred Hill and would be very grateful if any of your readers who may have letters from Alfred Hill in their possession, or who may remember incidents from his life, could communicate with me. I am _ particularly interested in Wellington’s musical life in the 1880s and 90s. in the early operas, in the Christchurch Exhibition orchestra of 1906-7 and its subsequent tour, and in the two visits of Verbrugghen’s orchestra in the 1920s. I would also like to have descriptions of touring opera companies. of great artists, and of music in the life of New Zealand up to the end of the 1920s. Any letters, programmes or press cuttings will be looked after carefully and returned.
