COLLEGE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
♦ The King Edward Technical College Symphony Orchestra from Dunedin will give its first concert in Christchurch in the Civic Theatre this even- ■ ing under the auspices of the Canfer-'j bury Music Festival Committee. An orchestra of 60 has not been heard in Christchurch for a considerable time, and when an organisation of that size, composed of enthusiasts who are •musicians and well trained, appears, something outstanding can be expected. Official reports are rarely given to enthusiasm and when the report on education presented to Parliament last month makes the following comment on King Edward Technical College, it is an indication of how excellent must be the music presented: "Music has now taken hold of the life of this school to a remarkable extent, but so far from its being regarded as extraneous to the real work of a technical school, or as occupying time and consuming energy which might be devoted to more austere studies, close observation has failed to reveal it as otherwise than a revivifying and unifying agency of real power."
