Orchestra Performs “ Mexican Traditions”
Symphony concert to features charismatic composer
The V ancou ver Symphony
Orchestra’s Sil ver Anni versary
concert season celebration
continues in January with the
m uch-anticipated “M exican
Traditions,” an intriguing clas­
sical program imported from
exotic Mexico and featuring the
charismatic Guillermo Salva­
dor from Guadalajara. Jalisco
as guest conductor.
M aestro G uillerm o has a
professional background as a
brilliant pianist, both in recit­
als and as a soloist with the
m ost im portant orchestras in
Mexico and abroad. The Gov­
ernment of Mexico named him
best m usician o f the year in
2001.
Guillermo Salvador
The symphony will feature
a diverse selection o f m usic
by M exican com posers, in­
cluding Silvestre Revueltas.
A sa c h ild , Revueltas played
the violin and organized o r­
chestras among his playmates.
C ity o f Portland
He went on to develop a highly
unique m usical language
rooted in the folk idiom o f his
native land.
O ther selections include
“M oncayo’s H a u p a n g o ”; a
folk-m edley based on three
well-known melodies from the
port city o f A lvarado. This
brilliant rhapsody has become
one o f the m ost well know n
sym phonic works w ritten in
Mexico.
The concert will also in­
clude w orks o f a Cuban o ri­
gin. The “danzon ” typically
features instrum ental solos.
The dance begins formal ly and
restrained then picks up as
the Afro-Cuban rhythms bring
a pronounced sensuality to
the surface.
The “danzon" became popu­
lar in Mexico almost as soon as
it gained notoriety in Cuba.
The program concludes with
George Bizet’s Symphony #1
in C. Com posed when he was
only seventeen and still a stu­
dent at the Paris Conservatory,
the music has a youthful feel,
rich in freshness and charm.
Perform ances will be held
Saturday, Jan. 25 at 3 p.m.
and Sunday, Jan. 26 at 7 p.m.
A “Musical Conversation,” an
informal talk about the music
and com posers, begins at 2
p.m, preceding S atu rd ay ’s
concert.

who would like to see more
students earn a CIM , say it is
valuable and that state col leges
are increasingly using ittomake
decisions about enrollment and
scholarships. The CIM certi­
fies that students who have
earned it meet state standards
in reading, math, writing and
public speaking.
The state found vast dispari­
ties in which students earn
CIM s: W hites, Asians and
American Indians in the class
o f 2002 all earned certificates
at roughly the statewide rate of
27 percent. But only 8 percent
o f black and Hispanic students
got CIM s, the state reported.

our efforts,” said Gene Evans,

Florida Prepares for
Eventual Travel to Cuba
(AP) — W henever Congress
debates an end to the ban on U.S.
travel to Cuba, Maria A ral's char­
ter flight company gets calls from
Americans eager to book a trip to
Havana.
Aral ’ s ABC Charters and other
tourism companies and state and
local officials are preparing for
the day when people might be
free to travel to the island that is
only 90 miles from Florida.
Since 196.3, most Americans
have been prohibited from visit­
ing Cuba. Only people with rela­
tives in Cuba, U.S. government
officials and professionals such
as journalists and doctors can
make the trip. President Bush said
earlier this year that a substantial
softening of U.S. policy would
only come after the communist
government of Fidel Castro is out
of power.
When that day comes, Florida
officialshopeforajumpin tourism.
The state’s tourism marketing
agency. Visit Florida, commis­
sioned a survey that found many
people who want to visit Cuba
w ould p re fe r to com bine a
weeklong trip to Florida with an
excursion to the island. Fewer
than one in 10 would skip the
state altogether to visit Cuba.
But some parts of the state —
for example, the Florida Keys —
fear they could lose business to
Cuba. Key West is closer to Ha­
vana than to Miami.
Harold W heeler, who heads
the Monroe County Tourist D e­
velopm ent C ouncil, said his
group has created a plan to m ar­
ket trips to Cuba as an ideal side
trip from the Keys, and vice
versa. He expects C uba’s short­
age o f h ig h -q u a lity h o te ls
would help keep the Keys as
the main destination.
“We realize there's going to be
a great curiosity to go to Cuba,”
Wheeler said. “The key is how we
position ourselves.”
