Thursday, 9th December, 1976 THE ALBERNI STRING QUARTET HOWARD DAVIS (Volin) PETER POPLE (Violin) BERIAN EVANS (Viola) DAVID SMITH ('Cello) with ROGER BEST (Viola) The Alberni String Quartet is very well known to the Society's members. They have visited us on previous occasions and were, of course, here during the Festival for one of the Saturday morn- ing Concerts. Their recent tours of Australia and New Zealand and their fine recordings have brought them wide international fame. On this occasion they are joined by the distinguished Viola player, Roger Best, so that the Society may have the opportunity to hear two fine Viola Quintets not represented in the Society's Pro- grammes for very many years.

Thursday, 13th January, 1977 KATHLEEN LIVINGSTONE (Soprano) with SIMON NICHOLLS (Piano) and DAVID CAMPBELL (Clarinet) Kathleen Livingstone started her musical career as a Pianist and it was not until she commenced her studies at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music that she embarked on a singing career. She was the first woman graduate to obtain a Diploma in Musical Education with Honours and in her final year won several prizes. In 1975 she was the winner of the National Federation of Music Societies' Award and also a finalist in the Kathleen Ferrier Memorial Competition. Since then she has had a distinguished record of Concert appearances. Kathleen Livingstone is married to the tenor Neil Mackie. She is joined on this occasion by her accompanist, Simon Nicholls. We are fortunate also to have with her David Campbell to enable the Society to hear the Schubert song "Shepherd on the Rock".
