Benefit for music tour scheduled By Diane Wlnocur OtttfBmmraU Financial difficulties are but one of a long line of obstacles the Oregon Wind Ensem ble faced in preparing for a May perfor mance tour of Japan. The group lost the financial backing of a sponsoring company, which sent the members scrambling to raise funds on their own, according to ensemble director Wayne Bennett. The ensemble, still doing a little fancy footwork to meet expenses, is preparing to board a flight to Japan May 10 And to lessen the pressure of their April 26 deadline for funding, Bennett retracted his "no fundraisers” policy, he says A benefit concert, with proceeds to be dis tributed evenly among the student travelers, will be held tonight at 7:30 in Beall Hall. The Oregon Wind Ensemble and Friends Concert includes a sampling of works planned for the group's tour, as well as performances by "Lab Band 1,” the Emer ald Dixieland Band and a jazz flutist The group received an invitation this fall from the All-Japan Bandmasters Associa tion requesting that they represent the United States at the Association's 10-day, high school clinic this spring, Bennett says At that time, Yamaha — the clinic's spon sor — promised to foot the bill for the group's room, board and ground transpor tation in Japan, leaving students to pay only their airfare, Bennett says Although the airfare strained many student budgets, October auditions for the touring group still met with stiff competition he says Gradually, the plans started to come together a bit more After Yamaha can celled sponsorship plans, the bandmaster association took responsibility for locating Japanese families to house the students, but with ground travel as well as airfare to cover, student costs totaled $1.255, Bennett says. 7 want to see the cultural differences and the musical abilities... ’ Ruth Aberle Four musicians who thought they could raise the money by the April 26 deadline dropped out, forcing Bennett to rewrite many individual parts, he says. While most of the 44 ensemble members paid their own fees, some obtained inter est-free loans from the alumni association to be repaid through workstudy jobs next year If all goes as planned, the 56 member entourage of student musicians, School of Music faculty and administrators, guest soloists, a cultural consultant, and others will depart for Japan May 10 for two weeks The tour includes five days at the Band master’s annual clinic, a six-city concert, a workshop tour of Japanese technical high schools and colleges, and a professional recording session with Sony. The students say they are looking forward to their trip. Clarinetist Ruth Aberle says she anxious ly awaits the group’s visit to Musashino Academy of Music — a world famous con servatory — where the ensemble will attend classes and perform. Another of the planned events that Aberle awaits are the high school tours where the ensemble will explore the towns as well as the schools. “I want to see the cultural differences and the musical abilities of the youngsters. Their programs are really different there.” Aberle says. Oboe player Dave Kisling says he looks forward to the homestays with Japanese families. “I don’t know what to expect,” he says. Past wind ensembles chosen for the honor include California State University at Fullerton and UCLA. The group was select ed during a visit last January from conduc tor Toshio Akiyama, vice president of the bandmasters' association and conductor of the Sony Concert Band. Classifieds From Scotland...
