and Sunday, December 2 at
Heppner Elementary School
in at 4 p.m. Both concerts

“This is the seventh
year that Willow Creek has
been a part o f 1NWM. We
are proud to continue to be
an active m em ber o f the
music culture o f this region
and to have this student/
adult ensemble activity be
available to the citizens of
those communities,” said R.
Lee Friese, Music Director/
Conductor o f Inland North
west Musicians. Friese is the
principal conductor o f the
Willow Creek groups, and is

plus several selections sepa
rately. The symphony will
perform six other pieces,
among them Snow White

The singers will perform
four other com positions,
including Skye Boat Song
(arr. Rodgers) and This Is
My Country by Raye/Jacobs

“The audiences will
