Austrian Conductor visits Kingarth Street
Young pupils at Kingarth Street certainly paid attention when their string ensemble was directed by a professional conductor last week! David Danzmayr, assistant conductor of the RSNO, took some time out to visit Primary 5 pupils, who have been learning German, before conducting the string group in the Main Hall.
The musicians, all from Primary 3 to Primary 5, had been rehearsing hard with Music teacher Leslie MacLeod and rose to the challenge.
In the classroom, Danzmayr, who is from Salzburg, Austria, answered questions in German on subjects as diverse as whether he buys lottery tickets to what his baton is made from. The pupils were delighted to learn that he loves football and skiing as well as music!
