Canadian Music Centre: The birthday itself is being celebrated at the Canadian Music Centre with a presentation and performance by the Cecilia String Quartet and appropriately so, because no conductor has done more to champion the cause of Canadian music, according to The Star. At that time, the Harbord Collegiate alumnus was studying the violin, but conducting was already in his blood and The oldest conductor in captivity? Well, that may be a slight exaggeration, but when Torontos Victor Feldbrill raises his baton at the Arts and Letters Club a week Monday he will do so three days after his 90th birthday. It seemed only natural, Feldbrill acknowledged this week over afternoon coffee. When I was a student, the old conservatory at College and University had its cafeteria in the basement and the performance students used to sit at the same tables with the student composers. We all knew and respected each other.
