Both of these young ladies have studied extensively, winning numerous awards. Miss Triquet has - performed -with -many -orchestras, at home and abroad. Miss Gonthier is an accompanist for the CBC, and teaches at Laval University. . The'program featured works of music beginning with Mozart, in the 1700's,-- to modern composers. Miss Triquet chose Sonata in E Minor, by Mozart, to introduce the audience to the high .level of performance displayed by both young ladies throughout the concert. The difficul- ty of Mozart's graceful, intricate Allegro variations, "was overidden. with ease, as the phrases echoed back and forth between piano and violin The sweet melody soared high in the Temp di Minuetto, revealing her im- perceptible position shifts and flawless vibrato. The beauty of Mozart's music played with such grace, evokes the elegance of days gone by.. "On Wings of Song" by Mendelssohn, really does seem to float along, expressing the deepest passion of the lowerviolin ranges, to soar aloft in double -stop harmony, filling the hall with a music almost angelic in quality. The third piece, by Debussy, "La Plus que Lente" is a very dramatic, passionate piece, with surges -of power that ebb suddenly away in dreamy, romantic pauses, then soar again to the highest reaches of sound, Miss Gonthier, the pianist, possesses a great feeling for the music, and sympatico with the violin, to blend soperfectlyin timing and tone, one instrument flowing into the other. The Trifle du Diable by Tartini, is attributed to a dream the composer had, of the devil playing for him, so Tartini proceeded to compose the very devil of a piece, all in triple -stops and varying speeds. It is a very dif- ficult, technical work, demanding great contro of the bow. The music flows from a sweet. slow theme, Larghetto, to the quick, bouncy varia- tions of allegro energico to the power of the Grave, culminating in a breath- taking display of trills, double and tripel-stops. Bravo! What a perfor- mance. as the audience clapped wildly. Following a brief intermission, the concertcontinued with 'ebesfrend" .by Kr jsIe _hinl3elf_ a gifted violinist. This familiar romantic air is reminiscent of two lovers in a French cafe in spring - it flows like the verses in an ode to love. "Schon Rosmarin", also by Kreisler, sways along like a graceful waltz. In "Melodie" by Gluck, from "The Magic Flute", the violin sounds in- deed like the flute it emulates, to sing high, sweet and clear in impossibly high trills. The Capriccioso, Opus 28. by Saint- Saens, was one of the last pieces he composed, opening with strength and passion, darting up and down the strings in a tour de force of beautiful melody wrapped in romance. The piece tests the expressiveness of both violinist and pianist, to fully convey the richness of the composition. Beautifully done! The finale, Les eDiableries, is a rather jazzy number by French Cana- dian composer, F Dompierre. It's a snappy modern pi , a curious blend of jazz; elass' and French Cana- dian fiddle m to show off timing and technique, called "le diable boiteux." The second part, "le diable amoureux" is romantic, but still modern, like a portrait by Picasso, done in music. The "le diable gigeux" featured tapping on the piano. and pizzacatto on the violin, like a square dance gone mad! The audience gave a resounding response in appreciation of theim- pressive talents of these two young ladies. A wonderful concert! Two local lads, Jeff Patterson and Murray McKay. were ushers for the evening. At the last concert, at Christmas. their • sisters Sarah Patterson and Karen McKay were ushers. Watch for the next bonus concert on February 26, "Sound and Image '87", to be presented at the Grand Bend public school.

The wisest thing to do, in the dustries on January 27. President long run, is to see a lawyer, to discuss Donna Greb presided, welcoming your personal finances and your everyone and introducing the guest speaker, Chris Little, of Little and Evans, Exeter. Mr. Litle, an attorney. addressed the group on "Making Out Your Will".• He encouraged everyone to make a will, so that.your provisions and inten- tions can be carried out by your spouse or executor. The particular difficultly in providing for a handicap- ped child is the limitation of $3,000 li- quid assets, in order to maintain the government allowance of family benefits. This allowance varies from someone living at home or in- dependently, or being cared for in an institution, in a range of $35010 $600 per month. Parents are caught in a catch-22 situation, in which the law requires them to provide adequately for their handicapped child, yet limits the sum, above which they receive no family benefits. This requires a considerable income.to be placed in the hands of an - executor or administrator, to care for that person throughout their lifetime. Mr. Little discussed discretionary trusts, to be left in the care of siblings, child's special needs. Wendy King reported that the Special Services Advisory Commit- tee, which she chaired, had been dissolved in December, pending a review of the whole Special Services at Home Program. The- relatively new program has gone deeply in debt. due to overwhelming response from parents for services: She encouraged all parents to write to their MP and MPP, to ask for a renewal of the. program. with any changes or additional needs to be outlined. These letters must be writ- ten soon, while the review committee is still in session. Following the discussions. presi- dent Donna Greb announced her wish to resign after organizing the Parents . Group and presiding for two years. Mrs. Joanne Pickering, of Dashwood, was nominated as -president, and she accepted the position for one year, beginning in April.
