Why orchestras matter
Mr Robertson always enjoyed writing articles for the Newsletter, offering food for thought and encouraging greater understanding of Music throughout our community. ‘Mr Robertson’s Recommended Listening’ was a weekly joy for him to put together, and was indeed something that he kept up with when he was able whilst on Sick Leave. I knew that his phone ‘Notes’ contained numerous collections of thoughts and ideas on a range of subjects, and sure enough among these were a number of musings and half-written pieces intended for the Newsletter. The following is an article that Mr Robertson had drafted whilst in hospital at the start of this academic year. Whilst he would argue that it is not yet polished, it is finished enough that it seemed a shame not to share with his intended audience.
