All in the April Evening
It is 80 years since
Sir Hugh Roberton formed the Glasgow Orpheus Choir. In the 45 years of its existence the choir built up a national reputation for expressiveness and purity of tone. A few of its former members still meet every month and in this programme devised and presented by Ian Bradley some of them, together with the conductor's son,
Kenneth Roberton , recollect the life of the choir and the colourful personality of the man who shaped it.
Producer JOHN ARNOTT BBC Scotland
