A quartet of Scarborough graduates have formed the Scarborough
Society of Musicians with the mission of keeping music alive for
post-secondary students who are not pursuing professional studies
in music. They plan to provide an environment for the members to
continue developing and exercising their talent.
Their goal is to involve those graduates who would like to keep
involved in music but do not have the time to be involved in community
groups that practise weekly and in most cases meet on week nights.
Musicians will meet twice a month for practices and the quartet
hopes that students who are now studying out of town will be able
to attend the practices on Saturday mornings. The tentative rehearsal
location is Dr. Norman Bethune C.I. which has an award winning music
programme and fostered the musical interests of some of these students
who now want to give back to the community.
Because they benefited from participation in music studies in
elementary and high schools, the group also plans to contribute
to the community by helping to keep music alive in the community
and fostering links.
