Cecilia, Rome He later expand
ed to choral conducting, teach

in a January 23 Los Angeles
Herald Examiner story
Following his Los Angeles
performance, Heiny says she
received a number of requests
from Los Angeles for Bach Fes
tival tickets Ticket sales have
also been strong around
Eugene — close to sell-outs in
the evening Festival series.
Limited seating is still available
for some performances The
series of 10 free noon concerts,
a unique feature of this festival,
still has seats available, says
Heiny. Tickets for the Cantata
are still on sale.
Although Rilling and the Bach
Festival both currently
specialize in Bach, pieces by
Mozart. Mendelsohn, Schubert,
and Schumann will also be fea

"Without the upcoming facili
ties. it will be difficult to keep the
festival at its current level of
international reputation.”
Rilling was quoted as saying in
the Fall Orientation Issue of the
Emerald “The hall (Beall Hall) is
much too small."
The Performing Arts Center
will soon be completed and
ready to entertain next year's
Festival evening performances.
It seats 2,500 — a marked con
trast to Beall Hall's 500.
