X Xere’s a different flavor of Afro-Cuban
fusion: Vocalese. Two choirs, half a world
apart, sing music of their country and
heritage. You may not always understand
the words. But with their passion, joy, and
communication, you’ll get the message.
Join us and live the freedom of world music.
Go beyond boundaries.

The International Voices project is made possible in part by grants from
the Association of Performing Arts Presenters Arts Partners Program,
which is underwritten by the Wallace-Reader's Digest Funds and Doris
Duke Charitable Foundation, and the Hult Endowmenr of the Arts
Foundation of Western Oregon.
Opening a rare window into the
musical soul of Cuba, the
singers of Entrevoces will
perform contemporary work by
Cuban and Latin American
composers, a little Monteverdi,
a few spirituals, and a lot of
tropical, breezy sounds.
Out of the heart of East Africa
comes Christ the King Church
Choir, until recently one of
Uganda's hidden treasures.
Using percussion, dancing,
and expert choral singing, the
group's 40 voices weave a
fabric of daily and spiritual
life in East Africa.

Birth to Three
continued from page 1A
tions: “Incredible Infants,” “Won
derful Ones” and “Terrific Twos.”
Besides focusing on the child’s de
velopment, the program stresses
the importance of the role of the
parental relationship as well as in
teraction with other families.
Through training videos, in
struction manuals and group
meetings, the program will be im
plemented nationwide, and it is
all made possible with the fi
nances provided by the grants.
Birth to Three has served as a
working model for the “First 3
Years” curriculum and involves
families throughout Lane County.
Tina McClellan, mother of Char
ity, 5 1/2 months, and Collin, 22
months, has been involved with
the program since Collin was a
newborn, and continued helping
when Charity was born. McClel
lan and her husband still meet
once a month with the original
group of parents and children they
joined when Collin was an infant.
“We intend on continuing our
group until people break it up,
which hopefully never happens,”
McClellan said.
As she watched her children
playing with other children who
are part of the Birth to Three pro
gram, McClellan said, “I come
here to play, too. Why stay home
and do dishes?”
Birth to Three, a private, non
profit organization, was founded
in 1978 by three mothers. The
idea for the organization was kin
dled by a research project on
parental isolation by Rothbart, a
professor of psychology and a

member of the University’s Insti
tute of Cognitive and Decision
Sciences. Part of Rothbart’s proj
ect included an in-home study of
parents with young children.
The two research assistants in
volved in the project, along with
one of the mothers involved in the
study, Minalee Saks, the current
director, believed that parents
would greatly benefit from child
raising education and interaction
with other families.
After a year of research and
planning, funded by a federal
child abuse prevention grant from
the Children’s Bureau of the De
partment of Health, Education
and Welfare, Birth to Three was
launched.
More than 20 years later, the
program is a nationally recog
nized organization, and a model
for its curriculum “Making Par
enting a Pleasure.” The curricu
lum is distributed at more than
300 sites nationwide, including
elementary schools, YMCAs and
homeless shelters.
