Inland Northwest Orchestra to perform
1812 overture in February concerts
The booming sounds
ofTchaikovsky’s 1812 Over
ture will begin two concerts
in February by the Inland
Northwest Orchestra. The
ensemble, which is part o f
Inland Northwest Musicians
(INWM), will be performed
Saturday, February 16, at
7 p.m. in the North Baker
Elementary Auditorium in
Baker City and Sunday, Feb
ruary 17, at 4 p.m. at Harris
Jr. Academy in Pendleton.
Both concerts are free.
The 1812 Overture,
which is best known for its
thunderous volley o f cannon
fire and ringing chimes, was
commissioned by Tsar Alex
ander II to be played during
the consecration of the Tem
ple o f Christ the Redeemer
in Moscow. The temple had
been built as a memorial to
Napoleon’s defeat in Russia
in 1812; therefore, Tchai
kovsky used that historic
event as the program for his
work. Intending his music
for outdoor perform ance,
the composer scored it for
large orchestra and an ex
panded percussion section
that included actual cannon
to boom at intervals.
Although the Inland
N orthw est O rchestra will
not utilize cannons and the
concerts will be indoors,
the piece will be dramatic.
The sym phony is adding
m ore percu ssio n in stru
ments and musicians. “For
many people the 1812 Over
ture is a familiar piece. Like
so many o f Tchaikovsky’s
compositions, it is a chal
lenging work to perform— it
is technically dem anding
and requires large numbers
of performers to make it suc
cessful,” said R. Lee Friese,
Music Director and Conduc
tor of INWM.
The audience is in
vited to a reception after
each concert to meet and
mingle with the musicians.

A view from the hill
By Doris Brosnun
The w inter wonder
land that recently enveloped
the Valley for several days
added a certain beauty to
the view from Willow Creek
Terrace. The icy crystals
that blanketed the thin layer
o f snow sparkled in the
moonlight and sunlight and
the deer and winter birds
foraged the landscape for
warming sustenance. The
resid en ts o f the T errace
have enjoyed the view from
inside their home but also
welcome the warmer trend
because it tends to warm the
bones a little.
Warming their hands

$279,000 into the district in
2009, around $310,000 in
2010 and around $31,000
in the first half o f 2011; a
.29-cent levy would cost the
taxpayer with a $100,000
home $29 a year and would
bring in around $207,000 in
2009, around $230,000 in
2010 and around $23,000
in the first h a lf o f 2011.
Mahoney did not include
the $70,000 pledge nor the
Irrigon C linic expansion
funds in her estimate if ad
ditional tax monies were not
approved.
Mills said that if vot
ers approved a .39 cent levy,
the health district would still
have less than $ 1 per thou
sand in total tax receipts.
Board members will
continue their deliberations
on the issue. If they do de
cide to put the levy before
the voters, they and CEO
V ictor Vander Does will
begin research and outreach
to each community in the
district.
