FAMOUS ORGANIST
VISIT OF DR. NICHOLSON By Telegraph—Press Association WELLINGTON. October 29. On a visit to several choirs in New Zealand affiliated to St. Nicholas’ College of English Church Music, Dr. Sydney H. Nicholson, late organist and master of choristers, Westminster Abbey, arrived from Sydney by the Makura, accompanied by his secretary, Mr A. H. Brewin. Speaking of Australian choirs, Dr Nicholson said there was a great deal of keenness and much good work, but they had much to learn in the choice of music, and as he understood was also the case in New Zealand, regarding the value of using boys in choirs. He will be given a civic reception tomorrow, and will leave in the evening for the south, returning on Saturday, and leaving for a number of North Island places on Monday.
