JUVENILE SONGSTERS AT TOWN HALL The experiment of bringing 1000 children together for experience in choral singing was made by the organisers of the primary schools’ choral festival, which was held at the Town Hall last night. The occasion was a notable success, the entertainment comprising songs by individual schools, followed by items by the massed choirs. The performance, though a novelty in this part of the Dominion, followed the lines of similiar festivals which are now well established in London. The success of this first local festival should assure it of a regular place in the city’s musical curriculum.
