A7 THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3, 2019 Festival: Theater prefers to have a minimum of 60 days to sell tickets Continued from Page A1 “We didn’t want to announce anything that we weren’t going to be able to pay for,” he said. “We’re just trying to be fi nancially responsible.” Clark said he bears the Liberty no ill will, but hopes the festival and theater will collaborate better in the future. The Astoria Music Fes- tival has brought big enter- tainment to the North Coast since its 2003 founding, staging world-renowned musicians, drawing robust crowds and bringing tens of thousands of dollars into the local economy — a boon that the Liberty and sur- rounding businesses have come to rely on. “The economic impact on our area businesses during the f estival is about $80,000 in food, lodging, and pur- chases each year,” Crock- ett wrote in an email. “Not having the f estival on our stage creates a loss of about $15,000 for the Liberty in missed concessions sales and stage rental fees at the tail end of our fi scal year.” The festival has already been awarded grant money for this year’s concerts. This includes $10,000 from Asto- ria’s arts and culture grant program . “If the funds were not utilized, and the activi- ties which were included in their grant application never occurred … the Asto- ria Music Festival would need to remit back to us the $10,000 that were provided to them early on,” City Man- ager Brett Estes said. In years past, the festi- val would schedule the other performances around those at the main venue at the Liberty, Crockett said. By February, however, it was apparent the festival “wasn’t making it s usual steps,” Dwight Caswell/For The Daily Astorian Angela Meade, second from left, sings Leonora in Verdi’s ‘Il Trovatore’ at the Astoria Music Festival in 2011. she said. In addition, the festi- val board normally meets with the theater to negotiate a contract in the run-up to the theater’s deadline. “This year, that didn’t happen,” Crockett said. The festival, in fact, has been largely unresponsive. “Repeated attempts over the last two weeks to get them to sign went ignored,” Crockett said in a text message . The theater prefers to have a minimum of 60 days to sell tickets, enough time for promotion to get out and patrons to plan their festival experience. With that cut-off approaching, the Liberty — foreseeing a gap in their pro- gramming — chose to move on. It was a hard decision, said Crockett , a clarinetist who has performed in the festival under Clark’s direc- tion. “I have respect for the enormity of what he’s tried to accomplish with the festival.” But, “as a steward of the Liberty and an outspo- ken supporter of the arts in Astoria,” she and the the- ater board decided to use the venue for other events. “We need to get some- thing on the stage and get those people that are coming to town engaged,” she said. One confi rmed concert is the Hermitage Piano Trio, featuring Russian cellist and longtime festival performer Sergey Antonov, who resigned from the festival. Antonov said in an email: “At this point I will no lon- ger be a part of the Astoria Music Festival and we will be developing a new strat- egy with Jennifer to bring a new wave of performing arts to Astorians! “As I said many times before, I can’t imagine not coming to the town that has a special place in my life!” he continued. “With Sergey and others’ help, we’re booking four large classical and cross- over performances that will help capture the 3,500 vis- itors that normally attend each year,” Crockett said in an email. She’s sad for the Astoria Music Festival’s turn of fate . “I think it’s a worthy festi- val, ” she said. But she’s optimistic that the concerts planned for the Liberty are worthy replace- ments. “I think we can put this together, and I think it’ll be something exciting,” Crockett said. Warming center: Board members now focused on renewing permit Continued from Page A1 Last season — another mild winter — the warming center served an average of 23 people a night. In 2017 — also a mild winter — the shel- ter ended up opening for only 80 nights. With the end of this sea- THE DAILY ASTORIAN son, Martin and board mem- bers are now focusing on gathering paperwork to renew the warming center’s permit, fundraising and continuing to be a presence in the commu- nity. They have maintained a table at the Astoria Sunday Market to provide informa- tion and recruit volunteers. “Perhaps in the future, (we will) work with those look- ing for a suitable day/drop-in space and share that space with them,” Martin said. “That, of course, would be my hope anyway.” A group led by board members Nelle Moffett and Rick Bowers has started (2) (-) (-) (6) (-) (8) (9) (10) (12) (13) (-) (20) (-) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) L KATU KOMO KING KOIN KIRO KGW KRCW KOPB KPTV KPDX KCPQ TBS KZJO ESPN ESPN2 NICK DISN FAM FMC LIFE ROOT FS1 SPIKE COM HIST A&E TLC DISC NGEO TNT AMC USA FOOD HGTV FX CNN FNC CNBC BRAV TCM SYFY RFD (2) (4) (5) (-) (7) (-) (3) (10) (12) (-) (13) (20) (22) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) throughout each season to give neighbors a chance to weigh in with any concerns or comments.

The warming center’s board held a neighborhood meeting at the end of March, the last of three meetings the board has committed to eased tensions . Few neighbors have taken board members up on their offer to attend neighborhood meetings, and no one showed up for the most recent meet- ing, according to Annie Dol- ber, a board member. “I take that as an affi rma- tion!” she said.
