Original Toronto Star caption: Taking a bow last night at Massey Hall at the spring music festival of Toronto schools, choir conductor Harvey Perrin leans across the piano as pianist Alice Wilson points to musical score. It was Perrin's 43rd appearance as the choir director, and the pianist made her first appearance with him back in 1927. You never lose that edgy, feeling, though, said Perrin, director of Toronto Board of Education music department. Second concert goes on tonight.
