MUSIC The Oregon Bach Festival 'The Oregon Bach Festival has come a long way since those formative years in the early 70's. One need only slightly stir the memory to recall some of the con certs performed in the sweltering heat of an Oregon summer. . . . Memory is blurred, however, when it attempts to remember the Festival's first budget picture. Is it really possible that within the short span of 15 seasons this monetary image has increased in size nearly 150 times? This year the major challenge continued to be the move into the Hult Center. Last year was a milestone for the Festival when it took the formid able leap to a hall with a seating capacity nearly five times larger than the previous facility. The beauty and spaciousness of the Hult Center had to be balanced by increased audiences and greater financial support if the transition was to be justifiable and attain able. 'The format and schedule this summer reflect the luxury of hav ing three halls available for pro gramming, the Silva and Soreng at the Hult Center and Beall Hall at the University. No less than 43 events have been included in the two weeks, with more than one half open to the public without admission charge. The festival has expanded to include children's concerts, classes on art, architec ture and philosophy and an ex hibit by local artists. All of these are in addition to the dual series of noon programs in Beall and the Hult, the unique cantata lecture performances (5:15 pm) and the superb array of evening concerts." These are the words of H. Royce Saltzman, executive director of the Oregon Bach Festival. It does indeed look like an ex citing event Eugene should be proud of. Begun in 1970 as one performance and two workshops, the Festival is now respected throughout the country. Helmuth Rilling, artistic director and con ductor, is recognized as one of the world's leading interpreters of Bach choral repertoire. He has di rected throughout Europe, Japan, South America and the U.S. He also records extensively.
