advancement.

fi | You may want to alter a

the course of events.

=] gaining in popularity by the

time it’s over. You'll have reason to
celebrate. :

sgl LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Your meddlesome ways will

spice of life. You will discover
that it’s an absolute necessity.
Without variety, you will fail.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.

18): You'll be inclined to act

on your feelings rather than
your reason. Emotions will
overwhelm logic. The evening will
bring reason back into focus with
excellent results.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
see YOU succeed this week by
|] treading lightly. You must
move quietly, if you expect to retain
the advances you made. Take no
chances.

N. Van youth performs
in world music festival

NORTH VANCOUVER’S Denise
Pekovich will be one of over 1,000

oung musicians and singers gathe>-
ing for nine days in Vancouver this
October to perform in Canada’s first
major international youth music
festival. -

Thirty-five exceptionally  tal-
ented groups and soloists from
around the Pacific Rim will take
part. All performers are between
the ages of 12 and 25 and were
selected through auditions held in
Canada and in the Pacific Rim
countries.

Eighteen visiting groups from .

other countries, in addition to 17
Canadian groups and _ soloists,
have been invited to perform in the
festival.

The visiting groups range from
Warumpi Band — an aboriginal
rock group — to the 125-member
Seattle Youth Symphony, one of
the top five youth symphonies in
the world. New Zealand is sending
its National Youth Jazz Orchestra,
led by its director 25-year-old Matt
Catingub. Chinese participants —
a traditional folk music group
playing ancient Chinese instru-
ments — will come to the festival
from Beijing.

The festival spans classical, folk,
traditional, rock and jazz music.
Five mainstage concerts will be
held in the Queen Elizabeth
Theatre. Four nights of workshop
concerts will be staged in the Rob-
son Square Media Centre cinema
and theatre.

Rock and jazz dance nights will
be held in the Commodore
Ballroom. In addition to the per-
formances by each group in con-
cert and workshop settings, there
will be opportunities for groups to
play together — to jam during the
festival.

The Pacific Wave Festival is a
non-competitive festival, organized

to give outstanding young Cana-
dian performers and top talent
from around the Pacific Rim an
opportunity to share their cultures
with themselves and with the peo-
ple of Vancouver.

“We are very excited about the
extremely high performance stan-
dards of all of the performers’
said Paul Nicholls, the festival’s
program director. ‘‘We received a
great deal of help from many of
the national governments around
the Pacific Rim and from the
leading music organizations in
Asia and the Pacific.

“Several of the festival’s per-
formers have won prestigious
awards in national and interna-
tional competitions,’’ Nicholls
said.

The festival has been organizeu
by a steering committee repre-
senting the major youth music
organizations in Vancouver.

The Vancouver Youth Sym-
phony and the Vancouver School
Board choir and orchestra will
feature ‘special compositions writ-
ten for Vancouver's centennial and
performed at the festival.

Portions of the festival will be
recorded for radio broadcasts to be
heard around the Pacific Rim and
in Canada. The festival will feature
special cultural exchanges with the
Vancouver Pacific Rim com-
munities, many of which will be
hosting the visiting groups.

Tickets are now on sale at all
ticket offices in the Lower
Mainland.

Special series of tickets for the
various concert series are on sale at
reduced prices until Sept. 15.
Ticket series are available for all
mainstage concerts, the workshop
concerts, and the jazz and rock
concerts.

Individual tickets will be placed
on sale on Sept. 15, following the
sale of earlybird series tickets.

Local gailery shows
invisible portraits

THE INVISIBLE Portrait, the lat-
est work by photographer Chick
Rice, will continue to Oct. 26 at
North Vancouver’s Presentation
House Gallery.

Vancouver-based ar-
tist/photographer Rice has been
pursuing the notion of portraiture
for some time and this new group
of photographs continues her work
with the anticlinical portraii.

Large vignettes, primarily trip-
tychs, utilize the shadowgram (or
photogram) in addition to other

‘‘alternate’’ photographic
methods. Exploring these technical
alternatives as an artistic resource,
she expands the potential for a
confrontation with the viewer and
invites a reassessment of one’s
perceptions about ‘“‘persona’’ and
its depiction. .

The relationship between
photographer and subject is ad-
dressed, as well as Rice’s ongoing
personal look at her subjects’
specific relationships to nature and
their material environments.

Chick Rice has exhibited her
work internationally. Her
photographs are included in the
collections of the Edmonton Art
Gallery, the Photographers Gallery
in Saskatoon, the University of
British Columbia, and the Cana-
dian Museum of Contemporary
Photography in Ottawa.

A catalogue, with guest essay by
Martha Hanna, will accompany
the exhibition.
