There's no finer sunset than along Ontario's West Coast and this evening concert promises to be an ex- ceptional musical event, beginning at 7:30 p.m. and will be as colourful as the setting.

With only three stops on Canadian shores — Wind- sor, Goderich and Sault Ste. Marie — this is an extremely unique and rare opportunity. Goderich will be hosting the A.W.S.O from July 9 to July 13.

The arrival of Point Counterpoint II at harbours along the route always causes a stir. The silver vessel, 195 feet long and 38 feet wide, once seen on a foggy day, was mistaken for a UFO! It was designed by architect Louis L Kahn. On board the vessel, in addition to the hydraulics that create the central stage, there are art galleries and a small theatre, mom for crew members, staff and the orchestra conduc- tor's family. The American Wind Symphony Orchestra is a musi- cal ensemble created from the wind instnunents found in a symphony orchestra, which is dedicated to the per- formance of contemporary classical music. The orchestra members are young professional musicians and part of their experience during the AWSO cruising season is stay- ing with families in each haibour, providing experiences that will encourage skills development and a continuing interest in music for young musicians.
