Members of the Oregon Wind Ensemble practice for upcoming performances. The ensem

Beall Hall showcases performances
by more than 20 student ensembles

Beall Mall is continually alive
with music.
"Concerts run the gamut from
14th century music to Jelly Roll
Morton jazz to Spanish Choirs,”
said Bernard Dobroski. dean of
the School of Music. "You can
sit in Beall Mall and listen to the
centuries passing. The variety is
Incredible."
Nearly 200 performances are
given each year in the Universi
ty music school concert hall by
performing student groups,
faculty artists and guest
performers.
"This is one of the finest
schools of music in the United
States." Dobroski said. "The
variety and quality rivals the
top conservatories in America.”
Gary Martin, associate dean
of the school, said people do not
realize the quality of the
performances.
Martin, who also teaches
music literature courses, said he
emphasizes the importance of
concert attendance to his
students. "What other time in

life than in collage do you have
the chance to be exposed to this
much quality music?" he asks.
A large percentage of the con
certs are free to students and are
held right on campus.
Quality, diversity and
availability are the noteworthy
characteristics of the concerts
each month, said Steve Stone,
community relations director
for the school. "A lot of people
know it's a good music school,
but aren't aware completely. It’s
our responsibility to let them
know. ”
More than 20 student perfor
mance groups make up a large
number of the Beall Hall con
certs each year. These groups
include the Oregon Wind
Ensemble, the University Sym
phony Orchestra, the University
Singers Chamber Choir, Jazz
l-ahs. Symphonic Band. Sin
fonietta. Men's and Women's
Choruses, the University Per
cussion Ensemble and the Vocal
|azz Ensemble.
These groups and solo per
formers compete well with
students at any comparable
school, Martin said. The variety
and quality are enormous, from
ancient music to jazz, gospel
and modern styles, Martin said.
Compositions by music
school students also are
sometimes performed
"Part of the education of the
students takes place in the con
cert hall," Stone said. "Perfor
mance is the outgrowth of their
education."
The Percussion Knsemble. led
by Charles Dowd, associate
music professor, is one of these
groups that show the variety the
school offers. "People come
away from their concerts very
impressed. They use dozens,
sometimes hundreds of in
struments in a performance,”
Martin said.
These performance groups
are also open to non-music ma
jors, although some require
auditions. Many outstanding
performers from campus who
are not music majors are regular
performers in these groups.
Stone said.
