ENTERTAINMENT NT Classical piano concert to be held at Blyth Oct 21 It's not often that an audience has an op- portunity to see music, particularly classical music, composed before their eyes. Improvisation is usually thought to be the province of jazz musicians. Classical pianist Douglas Finch may change that conception. Finch, who will be appearing in concert at Blyth Memorial Hall on Sunday, October`21 at 2 p.m., is a composer as well as an accomplished pianist, and his composition skillsre evi- dent in the improvisations he includes in his programs. Audience members are asked to suggest a theme, and without further ado, Mr. Finch creates a varied classical study from it—a skill many more celebrated pianists might envy. Finch's amazing improvisatory skills are backed by the technique and interpretation of an experienced concert pianist. At the age of 27 he has already collected an impressive array of awards from piano competitions across Canada and Europe, has performed in recital and with orchestras both in Canada and in Europe, and is often featured Mom & Dad Beulah & Gerry HAPPY 22nd BIRTHDAY ZIGGY HAPPY 32nd FROM THE GANG FINALLY The Big 3-0! JENKINS on radio broadcasts, notably and frequently on CBC's Arts National. The Toronto Star called him "an unusually gifted pianist" and JohniKiaglund of the Globe and Mail commented "....a talent which should soon start attracting wider attention." His recent compositions have also been the subject of CBC's "Two New Hours". ' Finch will also be performing in the tri- centenary Bach, Handel and Scarlatti festival for CBC's Arts National this November, and his appearance in the Toronto Bach Festival next March will in- clude improvisations on themes of Bach. Finch's program for the Blyth concert will be as follows: Prelude and Fugue in B flat minor (Bk. II) by J.S. Bach, Davids- bundlertanze op. B by R. Schumann, Ballade no. 4 in F minor by F. Chopin and an improvisation on a theme suggested by the audience. Tickets for the concert are available by calling 523-9300. The Blyth Festival's classical music series, consisting of the Finch concert, La Boheme by the Canadian Opera Company Ensemble and a recital of soprano, piano and flute featuring local soprano Renee Stalenhoef van Haarlem, is still available for a considerable saving over single ticket prices. Information on the series is also available by calling the Festival at 523-9300.

The boss mistodk you for the cleaning staff, your coffee cup leaked all over those new clothes you just bought last weekend (on credit), your supervisor introduced you to a computer salesman who started asking you detailed questions about your job and on the way home, you had two flat tires. And your next-door neighbor had the nerve to say how nice it would be to have a cushy job like yours instead of having to work for a living. All of us have the hardest job in the world and nobody understands just how hard we work for so little. The Theatre Circle, in one of its two plays next spring, wants to tell your story. Writers from the company will be writing a new musical comedy this winter that will tell the story of working peo- ple and their problems. As part of the process, Theatre Circle is holding a contest to find the best (or worst) story about earning a living. In 100 words or less, tell the story of your job or of a par- ticularly bad day you've had on the job. Send it to Theatre Circle and if yours is the best story, you'll win two season's tickets for Theatre Circle productions next spring. All entries should be sent to: The Theatre Circle, Box 429, Blyth, Ont. NOM 1H0. COMMUNITY CALEIMDAR .� Not valid in conjunction with any other offeP.
