Peter has just submitted a report for the Samoan Minister of Education, Sports and Culture on the development of an orchestra in Samoa. Peter spent the week 26-31 March there as the guest of the Samoan Government. He writes: “I was quite overwhelmed by the extraordinary natural talent and commitment to music of so many of those that I met. Even attending a church choir practice the night that I arrived was something of a revelation. The challenge now is to find ways of resourcing and empowering that talent.”
