Willow Creek
Symphony
announces free
concerts
Jazz Club rings in St. Paddy’s Day
HERMISTON — The
preparatory orchestra of the
Inland Northwest Musicians
is performing a pair of free
concerts.
The Willow Creek
Symphony includes student
musicians and adults from
Hermiston, Boardman,
Umatilla, Irrigon, Ione, Walla
Walla, Athena and Pendleton,
as well as some members
of the Inland Northwest
Orchestra. The concerts are
Saturday, March 17 at 7 p.m.
at Armand Larive Middle
School, 1497 S.W. Ninth
St., Hermiston; and Sunday,
March 18 at 4 p.m. in the
Gronquist Building, 11650
Railroad Ave., located near
the golf course in Arlington.
While there is no admission
charge, donations are
accepted. Receptions will
follow each performance.
The program includes
“Melodies by Joseph
Haydn,” “Battle Hymn of the
Republic” arranged by Daniel
Walter, “To A Wild Rose”
by Edward MacDowell and
“Berceuse” by Edvard Grieg.
The Willow Creek Symphony
is under the direction of R.
Lee Friese, music director/
conductor, and Ralph Werner,
associate conductor.
Founded in 1999, Inland
Northwest Musicians provides
live musical performances to
rural audiences. The nonprofit
organization fosters an
atmosphere of encouragement
and assists musicians in
developing their talent.
Auditions are not required.

A full day of musical enter-
tainment will be presented
by The Pendleton Jazz Club
beginning with the world’s
shortest parade.
The annual tradition is
held on St. Patrick’s Day —
Saturday, March 17 — at the
Rainbow Cafe, 209 S. Main
St., Pendleton. Two parades
will take place — one just
prior to when the Oregon
Liquor Control Commission
allows alcohol sales to start at
7 a.m. and one at 7 p.m. The
parades are rather short in
length and brief in duration,
said Pendleton musician J.D.
Kindle, so observers are asked
to not blink — lest they miss it.
The event showcases a
range of performers, a jazz
jam session and the short, but
lively, parades. The open jazz
jam is from noon until 3 p.m.
Musicians interested in taking
part are asked to bring their
own instruments.
Local performers include
Imperial
Twang,
Misty
Mouth, James Dean Kindle
& The Eastern Oregon
Playboys, Medium, Joe Pitt,
200e, Lance Leonig, Murray
Dunlap and Lincoln Barr.
This year will also feature
a handful of visiting guest
performers that are Jazz Club
associates, including psyche-
delic performance art rockers
Don’t & Triplet (Portland),
desert voodoo-wop couple
Dusty & Moira (Joshua Tree,
California), and lo-fi folk
songstress Monica (Astoria).
“The Jazz Club will not
be providing a schedule of
performances, so please don’t
ask,” Kindle said. “Mystery
and surprise is part of the
deal.”
The Pendleton Jazz Club is
a private fraternal organization
dedicated to the liberation
of the mind, body and soul
through the power of music.
For more than 30 years, the
club has been presenting
music at the Rainbow on St.
Patrick’s Day.
