For France

Noted varsity musician, Mr. Robin Maconie, has been awarded a £500 bursary by the Arts Advisory Committee, with an extra £150 for travelling expenses. Planning to leave for France in August of this year, Maconie will study at the Paris Conservatoire under Massaien, teacher of many leading contemporary composers. After approximately two years overseas, he hopes to return to an academic position on a university staff.

Maconie also distinguished himself as composer of the sound track for the film "The Sound Of Seeing," a avant-garde Pacific Films production.
