Donald Sprinck Musical Bursary fund
We are delighted to announce the launch of the Donald Sprinck Musical Bursary fund to assist a pupil or pupils in their musical careers at Merchiston Castle School, a place that Donald loved deeply and served for 26 years until his retirement in 1972. We hope that this will also provide a means whereby his collected compositions may continue to be played, sung and heard.
The fund was launched with an inaugural concert of his music at Merchiston Castle School on 21st May 2011, attended by over 80 Merchistonians and others.
A feature-length DVD of the concert is now available. For further details, contact the MCS Development Office:
Also available is a CD of items from the famous 1959 school concert, transcribed from a tape recording kindly provided by Roger Platfoot:
