ONE, HERMISTON — The
Willow Creek Symphony, a
preparatory orchestra with the
Inland Northwest Musicians, will
give two concerts this month.
This symphony, comprised of
musicians with various experi-
ence and skill levels, is designed
to encourage an opportunity to
develop musicians of all ages
while performing quality lit-
erature, said Lori Johnson, who
works in program support for
the INWM. It is supplemented as
needed by members from the
Inland Northwest Orchestra.
On Thursday, April 14, the
Willow Creek Symphony will
perform a pair of Young People’s
concerts for regional students
from grades 4-6 at the Herm-
iston Community Center, 415
S. Highway 395. Johnson said

about 800 students are ex-
pected to attend those concerts
which will include concert pro-
tocol education, an instrument
demonstration and performance
of selections of examples of
classic literature. The experience
will conclude with a “Symphony
Safari” where students are led
through the midst of the orches-
tra to get up close and personal
with the musicians and their
instruments.
On Saturday, April 16, the
symphony will perform at the
Ione Community Charter School,
445 Spring St., at 4 p.m. This
FUNDRAISER

one of the fi rst public music con-
certs to be performed in Ione in
the last two years.
Johnson said the “Beethoven

in Stanfi eld, will be on display. This
