Clackamas Community Col
lege will host a unique joint ap
pearance by the only non-Esto-
nian choir and dance troupe to be
invited to ESTO ’96, a world
friendship song and dance festi
val to be held this summer in the
former Soviet republic.
The CCC Chamber Choir
will perform with the Portland
Estonian Dancers at 4 p.m. on
May 12, in the Gregory Forum.
Proceeds raised by the con
cert will help the two groups pay
expenses for their August trip to
Estonia.
Each m6mber of the two
groups is attempting to raise
$1,600 to pay for their individual
expenses.
The cost of the May 12 con
cert and dance performance is $6
for general admission and $3 for
students. Senior citizens are wel
come to attend free.
The program will feature the
music of Estonia in song and
dance. The Clackamas Chamber
Choir is the only musical group
from outside Estonia to be invited
to the August festival, which will
be attended by more than 250,000
people. The Chamber Choir will
be part of a 6,000-member Esto
nian choir during the festival.
The group also will go on a
performing tour of the country,
including stops on some of the Es
tonian islands in the Baltic Sea.
Members of the CCC choir
will be staying in the homes of
Estonians during their stay. The
Chamber Choir participated in
the West Coast Estonian Song
and Dance Festival held in Port
land last year. The group also re
cently completed a performance

Portland’s “Choral Cross-ties.”

for over two years she was in
formed that she had not reached
the age requirement for a gold
medallion.
With spirited perseverance
McGee now plans to go for the
gold. She is starting her Public
Service work already and has be
gun working on Civil War Reen
actment, in a project called Liv
ing History. If that wasn't enough
achievement to earn the respect
of her colleagues, she now has her
eyes on a new set of goals that
include a Transfer Degree, and a
General Art and Letters Degree.
