Acorn Computers Hits the Right Note - Sponsors Concerts for Children 
==================================================================== 

Acorn Computers, the Cambridge-based supplier of computers for 
education and the home, has announced that it will again be sponsoring 
the popular series of 'Concerts for Children' run by Mari Markus 
Gomori in the Cambridge area.  Founded five years ago, the concert 
series began with help from Acorn Computers and now provides thousands 
of young children with their first introduction to live, classical 
music in a fun and accessible atmosphere. 

Peter Talbot, General Manager UK Education at Acorn Computers, 
comments: "We are delighted to continue our partnership with Concerts 
for Children.  We recognise that Mari's approach to involving children 
in music and her commitment to understanding their needs, mirrors our 
own.  In the same way that she can make a trip to a classical concert 
a fun adventure for children, so we engage children's natural interest 
in computers and enable them to channel that enthusiasm in a positive 
and enjoyable way." 

The Acorn-sponsored concert will take place at University Concert 
Hall, West Road, Cambridge on Sunday July 3rd.  Tickets can be 
purchased prior to the concert from the Corn Exchange Box Office (0223 
357851), at #7.00 for adults and #5.00 for children.  During the 
interval Acorn will be providing an interactive hands-on demonstration 
of the latest musical software for computers at home and in school.

Machines (ARM) in a joint venture with Apple Computer and VLSI
