*****

TO PROMOTE THE INTEREST OF SCHOOL CHILDREN IN INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC THE MUSIC ADMINISTRATOR'S OFFICE HAS ARRANGED A SERIES OF DEMONSTRATION CONCERTS IN HONG KONG TO BE PERFORMED BY ACCOMPLISHED MUSICIANS.

THE FIRST DEMONSTRATION CONCERT IS SCHEDULED FOR DECEMBER 17 AT THE HOMANTIN GOVERNMENT MIDDLE SCHOOL. THE OTHER CONCERTS - ALSO ON A +TRIAL-RUN+ BAS IS WILL BE HELD IN PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS BEFORE MARCH 1978.

AT THE CONCERTS, THE PERFORMERS WILL EXPLAIN THE MUSIC AND THE INSTRUMENTS THEY PLAY. STUDENTS WILL ALSO TAKE PART IN THE CONCERTS BY JOINING THE PLAYERS IN SINGING.

IN NOVEMBER, A CIRCULAR WAS ISSUED TO ALL SCHOOLS INVITING THEM TO INDICATE WHETHER THEY WOULD BE INTERESTED IN HAVING THE DEMONSTRATION CONCERTS IN THEIR SCHOOLS.

+THE RESPONSE FROM THE SCHOOLS TO THE NEW VENTURE WAS VERY ENTHUSIASTIC,+ SAID MR. GORDON SIU, THE MUSIC ADMINISTRATOR,
