Salient: Victoria University Students' Paper. Vol. 29, No. 2. 1966.

Music moves

Music moves

This Year the university's music is to be re-organised by Patrick Flynn. If enough good players make themselves available a monthly concert will be held. The programme will concentrate on works not usually considered by local groups— music before Bach and contemporary music.

It is hoped to attract students who have never played in the orchestra before, and outside players will only be used when essential instrumentalists are lacking.

Patrick Flynn, an Englishman, started conducting under Clarence Raybould, has an interest in jazz and jazz arranging, and is an NZBC and Auckland festival concert performer.

Mr. Flynn feels that the University should be the focal point to music in Wellington, for "surely a student population of over 4000 must contain an adequate number of competent musicians. The orchestra is being organised on a trial basis for the Music Department, and I'm certain that it can succeed as long as interested musicians, whether they've played in the university orchestra before or not, get in touch with me."
