Young Canadian Artists, Graduales 0f Royal Conservalory of Music Awarded High International Honors Dr, Edwàrd Johnson, Chairman of the Board- af Directors af the Toronto, and former generai man- ager of the Metropolitan Opera Company af New York, recentiy took the rail of international music contest winners among Conservatory graduates. He found the record ta be overwbeiming. Within the past two years Betty Jean Hagen, violinst; Lois Marshall, soprano; Marguerite Gignac, soprano and Clermont Pepin, composer, have won awards in cities as far ai ield as New York, Paris, London andl Florence. Drilliant Young Pianist The latest distinction was gain- ed by Ray Dudley, brilliant young1 pianist from Bowmanviile, On-j tania, who on October 3 woan the first place medal in the Geneva Switzerland international con- test for piano-forte performers. Dr. Johnson, the Conservatory faculty and allnerious Canadian musicians and 11music loyers are indeed proud of the achievent accorded the young artists. Canada Growlng Up Musically There is enormaus significance attached ta these awards. Can- ada is growing up musically! These artists matched their talent witb the best young musicians from many countnies with long establisbed musical traditions and bigb standards of musical edu- cation, and have corne out on top., Canadians need no longer feel self cansciaus wbcn the American or European talks about music in Canada, and particulariy, vibat kind of musicians Canada is pro- ducing. It bas in the past bçen too com- mon a practice for aur yaung musicians ta look towards tbe United States, Great Britain or continental Europe as places ta receive the best in musical train- fniends for the gift wbioh includ- ed studio coucb, blankets, lamp, birtbday cake, etc. Congratulatory speeches were made by Mr. and Mrs. Earl Argue and Mr. John Payne. Mr. Harry Preston sang two suitable solos and was accompanied by Miss Jeanne Coulter. A bountiful lunch was served and dancing was continued until 1:30 a.m., bringing ta a conclusion a real highlight in B allyduff bistory. ing. AIllaf these award winners were trained in Canada and are graduates af the Senior School of ithe Rayai Conservatory (now a part af the Faculty of Music im 1the Conscrvatory's reorganization plan). Miss Hagen is a student of Geza de Kresz, Miss Marsball of Weldon Kilburn, Miss Gignac of Ernesto Vinci, Clermont Pepin of Arnold Walter, and Ray Dudiev of Aiberto Guerrero. Taking stock of the present musical situation in Canada ancl cannot help but be optimistie about the future. Canada has the talent, the schoois, and. wc hope, the opportun ities ta develop a truiy great native musical cul- Iture.
