Wooing the Expert!

Wooing the Expert!

The arrival of Mr. Paul Schramm in New Zealand should be of tremendous Interest to all music lovers. Those who have been fortunate In hearing his pianoforte recitals have been both thrilled and astounded with the brilliant technique of this musician from Europe. He has had valuable experience with the finest orchestras overseas, particularly in Berlin and Holland while in Batavia he was conductor of his own [unclear: orchestra.] "Salient" found him eager to learn of musical activities in University life in New Zealand. He suggested a special endeavour could be made to Increase the College orchestra to at least thirty, while the best conductor available should be engaged. Financial difficulties would be overcome If each student made a reasonable subscription or donation, subsidised by a College grant. He considered one recital could be given each term, while a special recital during Centennial celebrations would give the College an excellent opportunity of taking an active and valuable part in festivities.

And we hear that Malcolm Sargeant will be in New Zealand in Centennial year.

Well, what about it?
