Dunedin Society's Fate Was In The Balance
PATH of the Dunedin Orchestral : Society trembled on the brink prior to a concert recently given in the home town. Time was when the society’s ‘ performances were near-gala events, but times change. Radio and "canned music" told their tale. The society fell on iess happy days.
Concert given a week or two ago was more or less to be a deciding factor-whether the shutters should go up, or not. Perhaps both. public and players were equally aware,of this grim shadow of "The Wnd." ~ Public rolled along ‘in. large numbers," and. the orchesira, rejuvenated | and revitalised to a. surprising degree, gave one of the best concerts ever given. ‘Conductor’ was. that. sound musician Dr. T. Vernon Griffiths, "and he’ made the most’ of the material at his command. Society’s future now. seems safe; at last the clouds have temporarily lifted.
