“It’s
challenging,”
Ketchersid said. “I’m prob-
ably one of the newest peo-
ple with the group.”
R. Lee Friese is the
founding conductor of the
Inland Northwest Musi-
cians. The group began in
1999 when a number of in-
strumentalists and vocalists
were interested in forming
a classical music organiza-
tion that held central core
values, including that mu-
sic is for everyone.

gram operations adminis-
trator. Otherwise, all the
musicians in the ensembles
— which also includes the
Inland Northwest Chorale
and the Wallowa Valley Or-
chestra — are volunteers.
At any given time, the four
ensembles include upwards
of 200 participants, from
ages 10 to 89.
Friese said the group
doesn’t hold auditions.
People are invited to partic-
ipate and are encouraged to
increase their skill level as
they perform.

for anyone that wants to
perform,” Friese said. “We

ticipate because they are in-
terested.”
The groups take music
to a service area encom-
passing seven rural coun-
ties in Eastern Oregon and
two counties in southeast-
ern Washington. There’s
no charge for concerts, al-
though they do accept do-
nations.
The organization also
solicits sponsorships and
support for its programs. In
addition, they submit grant
requests from a number of
foundations.
“If we didn’t have any
sources of revenue, we
couldn’t possibly exist,”
Friese said.
After the first year of
Inland Northwest Musi-
cians’ existence, Dean
Mason
got
involved
through word of mouth.
Mason, who plays trom-
bone and sings baritone/
bass, is a retired music
teacher.
“I enjoy the variety of
music,” he said. “Also,
the camaraderie with the
musicians is a lot of fun.”
RaNiel Dunn, who has
been singing with the
group since its beginning,
also likes the idea that the
program offers students
another opportunity to
perform.
Responsible for pro-
gram operations, Dunn
also gives a thumbs up
to the outreach aspects of
Inland Northwest Musi-
cians.
“We are a unique or-
ganization that takes the
music to the people.”
Mason views music as a
good hobby that provides
a release from everyday
stress. It’s an activity,
Mason said, that can be
enjoyed throughout one’s
life. Ketchersid agreed.
“I honestly don’t know
what my plans are for the
future,” Ketchersid said.
“But, I’ll stay with music
— orchestra is a hobby.”
