CHAIR IN N.Y.
The New Zealand composer, Ronald Tremain, has been appointed professor of music at Buffalo University, New York, after a year as guest lecturer at Michigan University.
He was senior lecturer at Auckland University from 1957, and often conducted the university madrigal group and the university string orchestra. Dr Tremain, who was born in Fielding, went to Britain in 1949 on a State bursary to study music composition, after studies at the University of Canterbury. A year later he won the William Corbett prize for his composition, “Fantasie,” for a string quartet. He was runner-up in 1951 in the Lionel Tertis viola competition.
Dr Tremain was in the United States in 1963-64 to study composition under a Carnegie grant.
