Clear Creek Music Festival Enters its Fifth Year
Once again the hills of Halfway, Ore. will be
alive with the sound of music. The Clear Creek
Music Festival celebrates- a half-decade of
music making with activities from July 8-24. The
two-week program for select college-age stu­
dents taught by internationally known music fac­
ulty offers three public concerts by Festival
students and faculty, the last of which will in­
clude the world-premiere of the first in a series
of compositions entitled “Scenes from the Ore­
gon Trail” by Festival Composer-in-Residence
Dr. Blaise Ferrandino.
An exciting new feature of this summer’s ac­
tivities will be the Clear Creek Junior Piano Fes­
tival, held from July 8-14. This program, for
pianists from age 8-high school, will provide
concentrated enrichment instruction for young
students and the opportunity to perform in a
supportive, non-competitive atmosphere. Space
remains in the program for local students and
scholarships are available for area students.
In addition to the instruction and group ses­
sions, internationally known guest pianists Deb­
orah and Chung Lee will present a workshop on
Saturday, July 11. They will discuss their expe­
riences teaching piano in S. Korea and Hawaii,
perform new piano teaching literature, and offer
a master class in which Festival participants and
students of local teachers may perform in a non­
competitive atmosphere. Piano teachers, stu­
dents, and all persons interested in an
international perspective on music making are
invited to attend this day-long event.
As in the past, there are many kinds of oppor­
tunities for the residents of Baker County to par­
ticipate in the Festival. This year, the
Festival/Community Chorus for teens and adults
takes on Bach, a setting of "The Lord is My
Shepherd" by John Rutter, and Joseph Martin’s
‘The Music of Life.”
