(Section C)
Led by Marie Wilson
Conductor, Sir Adrian Boult
Kathleen Long (piano)
Kathleen Long, who won a scholarship to the R.C.M. at the age of thirteen, was one of the first to broadcast from Savoy Hill. In those days she specialised in modern French music, though today she is better known for her playing of Mozart.
In 1937, she paid her first visit to the United States and Canada, and made a great success when she broadcast from Montreal. Apart from her solo work, she is pianist with the English Ensemble, and has also been heard at the microphone in sonata recitals with Adila Fachiri.
