... et al Annual summer music festival opens By MARGARET MCCUE For the Emerald Tickets are still available at the School of Music box office for several performances during the Ninth Annual Summer Festival of Music, which will open today at 3:30 p.m. with the Bach Cantata 76. Each year the Festival attracts profes sional musicians from around the United States and Europe who perform works by Bach under the direction of Helmuth Rilling, eminent choral director from Stuttgart, Germany. Rilling has conducted the Festival since it began in 1970 as a single workshop and concert. The Festival has now expanded to four workshops and 16 public concerts that will be seen by an estimated 10,000 people this year, according to H. Royce Saltzman, associate dean of the music school and Summer Festival coordinator. The festival traditionally focuses on the work of Johann Sebastian Bach because “he, more than any other composer, has influenced musical thought and composi tional technique from the 18th Century to the present,” Saltzman says. Performances that are still open include: the Bach St. Matthew Passion lecture rehearsal, Friday at 7 p.m.; two chamber concerts with “Musical Offering” from Los Angeles, July 17 and 20, 8:30 p.m.; the Bach Cantata 146 performance at Central Lutheran church, July 16, 7 p.m., and all the afternoon cantata performances. A few ti kets are also available for the July 21 solo cantatas starring soprano Arleen Auger. In addition to these performances, there will be two free, public recitals and a free, public lecture on how to listen to a concert and watch a play during this year's festival season. Festival harpsichordist Nina Johnson and festival violinist Harold Byers will give the first of the two free recitals at 12:30 p.m. today in Room 198, School of Music. Friday Johnson will perform alone in room 198 at 12:30 p.m. “Every Man a Critic” is the title of the lecture to be given by music critic Alan Rich in Beall Hall at 10 a.m. Rich, music critic for New York magazine, will be available for questions at a public reception after his talk. He is the author of several books on music and former chief music critic for the New York Herald Tribune. While most of the concerts are in Beall Hall, this year’s Festival also includes two out-of-town performances, one in Port land, and one in Ashland, at the Shakes peare outdoor theatre. Bach’s St. Matthew Passion will be performed at the Portland Civic Auditorium on July 18. Mendelssohn’s “Midsummer Night’s Dream” and “Walpur gisnacht" will be performed at Ashland on July 23. Tickets for the Festival are $3.50, $5.00 and $7.00 for evening performances, $3.50 for the lecture-rehearsal and $1.50 for the afternoon cantata series. Tickets can be purchased weekdays 9 a.m.-5 p.m. at the box office in the lobby of Beall Hall. After noon cantata tickets also will be sold at the door.
