Talented trio There was a change -in the pro- gram for the Youth and Music Can- ada concert at the Grand Bend Unit- ed Church last Wednesday evening. The Quatre Fois Sax was unavaila- ble at the last minute, so another group, a Canadian trio, of piano, oboe and bassoon, was substituted. Mrs. Lillian Newton, of the Grand Bend Concert Association, introduced the trio. Cynthia. Steljes, oboe, was born in Deep River, On- tario, and has performed with the York Winds since 1983, making four recordings so far, one as solo- ist with the Polish Radio Chamber Orchestra. Peter Lutek is a Canadian bas- soonist, saxophonist, composer and improvisator; first prize winner in the CBC Talent Competition of 1981, and a soloist with various or- chestras. Pianist Robert Kortguard was born in Regina, and leaped to na- tional prominence when he won the Grand Prize of the Canadian Music Competition, and has since soloed with major Canadian symphonies. This talented trio treated the audi- ence to a beautiful evening of mu- sic, opening with "Triosonate" in F major by Tcicman. The second number, Duo for oboe and bassoon, was written by Peter Lutek when he was about 16 years old, and revised when he was 20. It is a technically demanding modern piece which puts the woodwinds through their paces. The third number featured Kort- gaard in a piano solo, Scherzo No. 1 in B minor by Chopin. The cen- tral theme of this piece by Chopin is based upon a beautiful traditional Polish Christmas carol. Mrs. Kort- gaard played with great feeling and superior technical skill. The fourth piece, Sonata in F ma- jor by Mozart, showcased the skill of Cynthia Steljes, accompanied by. Kortgaard. After intermission, Peter Lutek played Three Songs which he ar- ranged, accompanied by Kortaard. The first was Zdvonjenje, a tradi- tional Croatian folk song, very soothing and pastoral in tone, evoc- ative of sheep roaming the hillside. Tlie "Wandering Song" was written • by Peter as he was wandering around Halifax a few years ago, rather a modern gypsy ballad with a great feeling of movement and wan - Area students have Spanish weekend Ten students from South- Huron District High School in Exeter were given the opportunity to participate in the Sccond Annual Spanish Im- mersion Weekend. The event was held at the Kiwa- nis Apps Mill Park, in a lovely conservation area, near Brantford, Ontario. There were 21 students in all, with seven from North Park Collegiate in . Brantford and four from Simcoe Composite, and they had, to make a commitment to speak nothing but Spanish all weekend except in the privacy of their own rooms. The students arrived on Friday evening for a program of events that included games, skits, films, a baseball game and Spanish food too!" A group of El Salvidorcans came to prepare an authentic ethnic breakfast for the teens on Saturday morning. The rest of the time they were divided into groups to prepare one meal on their own. Each student earned points for ef- forts to speak Spanish, and lost points for speaking English! On Sunday morning a minister, David Valcnza, provided them with a Spanish Ecumenical service. Sun- day afternoon finished with an auc- tion sale, with items donated for the occasion by Exeter Big -V drug- store and Greeting Card World of Exeter. EMA Foodstore donated fruit for snacks. The entire event was organized by Mrs. Dianne Hca- therington, assisted by her husband, Mr. Hcatherington, and another teacher, Janice Rose, of Scaforth lligh School. The 10 students from S.11.D.H.S. were Marie DeBruyn, Rosa Brand, Sue Selves, Lori Park- er, Janet Mowat, Bonnie Watson, Chris Taziar, Heidi Soudant, Anne Dclbridge and Marnic Walker. Many thanks go to the teachers who spent many hours organizing the event, and to the parents who provided transportation, so these students could enjoy such an en- riching opportunity in Spanish.
