weekend preview This is the weekend to remember dear old Mom. Sunday, it should be noted, is Mother’s Day. It should also be noted that Saturday night is one of the busiest concert nights of the year, with music ranging from Wheatfield to the Limelighters. If you went to everything going on in the Willamette Valley Saturday night, you’d spend roughly $16. That’s about half as much as required to treat the old lady (yer mother, that is) to dinner for Mother’s Day. If that doesn’t appeal, do something for Mom on Friday night. Like a music festival. The 24th International Heinrich Schuetz Festival of music is being held on the University campus this week. Choirs and in strumental groups from 10 western colleges will perform in the school of music recital hall through Sunday. For information on times of concerts and admission, contact the School of Music at 686-3761. Though not much is happening tonight, some feminine performers are offering entertainment in a soothing vain. In the Fishbowl at 8 p.m. Kathy Smith returns with her guitar and folk songs. In an Oriental flavor, the Rag at Sat al gimmer belly dancing troupe will perform at the same hour at Scarborough Faire. Kathy’s music is free — the dancers are asking $1 ad mission. Friday and Saturday, the farewell performances of “The Inspector General” are scheduled for 8 p.m. on the main stage of the University Theatre. Studentrush tickets, available at 7:45 p.m. are $1.50. And on Wednesday, “Brecht on Brecht,” a conglomerate of exerpts from the German playwright’s works will be presented on the same stage. Tickets are also $1.50. A free lecture by Rosaria Hodgdon of the architecture department will cover the architecture of Boston in 177 Lawrence at 4:30 p.m. Friday. The sole film slated for Friday is Bunuel’s “Nazarin.” Admission is one dollar. The flick gets rolling at 7:30 p.m., also in 177 Lawrence. For a more lively way to pass your Friday evening, lace up your stomping boots, fill your pipe with your favorite smoke and get to Scarborough Faire by 8 p.m. The Sawtooth Mountain Boys, who do traditional bluegrass, will have you clappin’ and rompin’ in no time. They’re as close to expert in mountain sound as anyone in the area with nine years experience to boast of. A dollar donation is asked for their sendees. Paramount-Northwest will be wired for rock Friday night when Savoy Brown makes a stop in Portland on its current U.S. tour. Accompanying the British group, that specializes in rock, blues and boogie, will be Status Quo and Mandrill. Tickets for the 8 p.m. performance are $5 at the door, or $1 less in advance. Oh boy! Get set for a real “Saturday night out.” This one’s ripe as a yellow banana. Marcel Marceau will perform at 8 p.m. Sunday in the Portland Civic Auditorium. You can spend your time all in one place if you’ve a mind to. A benefit dance-concert for the Growers Market lasts from 7:30 p.m. to midnight, in the EMU ballroom. The Pump Company and Wheatfield will provide music. Wheatfield, notoriously a non-dance band, have been working up a more versatile repertoire and promise “something for everyone.” Prepare to rock your heart out for $1.50. If it’s your spiritual nature that’s in need of recreation, “The Harmony of Eck” may appeal to you. Saturday at 8 p.m. in the Gerlinger Alumni Lounge adherents of Eckankar, a “science of total awareness” will present poetry, art and music. It’s free. Saturday films on campus include two “classics.” For $1.50 you can see “Satyricon” by Fellini at 7 p.m. or 9:15 p.m. in 180 PLC. (The admission may be a little higher than usual, but it is a benefit for Canterbury-Center.) For half that amount, the Student Union Against the War is running a flick that stars the unlikely combination of Marilyn Monroe and the Marx Brothers. “Love Happy” will play in 150Science at 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Harpo freaks take note — this is Harpo at his height. Scarborough Faire (136 E. 11th Ave.) is importing a band for Saturday night’s performance of “organic” music. Star berry, from Arizona will be playing from 8 p.m. Admission is roughly $1. “The American father of folk,” Glen Yarbrough, plus the original Limelighters, are doing an 8 p.m. concert at South Eugene High School Saturday night. Tickets range from $3 to $5. Richard Wagner fans won’t want to miss the Portland Opera’s 7 p.m. performance of “Tristan and Isolde” Saturday evening. European veteran baritone Robert Lauhoefer will portray Kurvenal and Herbert Becker and Berit Lindholm will sing the title roles. The performance will be in German. Tickets are priced from $4.50 to $15. If rock is more your style, a Saturday concert at Paramount Northwest in Portland featuring Slade and the Sons is what you’re needing. Tickets to the 8 p.m. show are only $3 if you can get a friend to get them for you in advance. Sunday settles back into somniferous placidity, to the relief of all who spent a wild Saturday night. I recommend that everyone take his or her mother out to dinner in lieu of other entertainment, as very little will be going on Sunday. And, it is her day, after all. The Cultural Forum is sponsoring “Ryan’s Daughter.” You have three chances to see it (3 p.m., 6 p.m. and 9 p.m.), if you can’t find other fun and games. Admission to 180 PLC is $1. Finally, in Portland, pantomimist Marcel Marceau will appear in the Civic Auditorium at 8 p.m. Tickets are $3.50, $4 and $5.

After intermission, "Canzona VIII" by Giovanni Gabrieli (1544 1612), "Eight Polish recital There are those who believe that a concert should be heard and not seen — that is, that the visual aspects of a live performance should be minimized so that the audience may concentrate on the sounds created by the performer. People with that conviction might have protested that Jacquelyn Helin is cheating. Her appearance on the stage Tuesday evening at her senior recital, as at all her performances, was distracting to say the least. A beautiful, svelte girl with long blonde hair, Helin wore a sleeveless, floor length, black gown. When she plays, her arms move with grace. At moments, the upper part of her body veritably dances. Her presence is commanding. The way she pauses before each piece demonstrates professional competence. At the outset of the program, she took a deep breath, somehow adding to the audience’s an ticipation. She is centering, the viewer also feels calmer and more gathered. All this charm and beauty would have muted impact, however, if her ability to play the piano were in any way mediocre. It was not. She played a diverse program with precision, clarity, and a good deal of sensitivity. The “Premiere Communion de la Vierge No. 11” from Vingt Regards sur l’Enfant Jesus by Messiaen (bom, 1980), with its dissonances and rhythms, was no less deliberate and appropriately rendered than the Bach Prelude and Fugue in F flat Minor, which opened the recital. A seldom-performed Beethoven sonata, Opus 101 in A major, played before the intermission, contains several “abstract” passages, in the words of Jacquie’s teacher, Alexander Hrisanide. She seemed to have admirably mastered the musical intent behind this interesting and verv beautiful piece. Bartok’s brief, brash, “Bulgarian Dance No. 6” from Mikrokosmos offered a delightful contrast to the other, more meditative numbers. The duet with David Chinburg, “Debussy’s Sonate pour violoncelle et piano,” sounded surprisingly different Tuesday from the rendition at Chinburg senior recital a few weeks ago. Chinburg said the only difference he could detect was that he felt more nervous this time, but he remarked that Hrisanide had coached him and Helin on impressionistic music. That might have had something to do with it. It was extremely interesting and lovely the first time, but now it had enormous vitality, diversity, imagination. Jacauie’s proven musicality will stand her in good stead as she undertakes graduate school at Yale. Her beauty alone would not suffice — combined with her talent and grace, it can’t hurt.
