Schools Music Festival

About 400 primary school children from schools in the central area of Nelson provided a capacity audience with a thrilling evening of music in the girls' college assembly hall last month. Each school presented its own items then the schools combined to form a choir of 180 voices for several works. As well, the massed orchestra, drawn mainly from primary schools, presented several numbers.
