Miles State School children perform 'Dame Durden's School'

Children from Miles State School performed 'Dame Durden's School' in costume, circa 1910.

'Dame Durden's School' was a cantata by May H. Brahe, and was written to be performed by children. The cantata featured simple songs and an entertaining dialogue, and was popular with schools at the time, as it was easy to arrange and did not require any specialised scenery or costumes.
