Another Successful Holiday Orchestra
The annual Nelson Junior Orchestral School, this year held at Broadgreen Intermediate, attracted about 90 Primary school and Third form pupils, and fourteen tutors were on hand to teach the young musicians more about music. At the end of a week, the orchestra entertained parents with a fine performance — a tribute to the dedication of the tutors, who gave up their time to assist the orchestra.
The tutors. Roy Carew, Barbara Collins (music adviser to Nelson Education Board), Evan Pallesen, Penny Cooper, Anns Spaak, Bruce Macaulay, Kathleen Hughes, Richard Percival, Elizabeth Ditzel, Peter Clark, Heather McLeod, Les Whyte, George Chapman-Cohen and, seated, Marilyn Beattie
The string bass trio. Bruce Macaulay, Karin Wastney and Simon Peacey
