THE Ambleside Orchestra
Starts its fifth season today.

As the only full orchestra on the
North Shore, this group attracts a variety
of experienced non-professional musi-
cians who delight in perfurming works
spanning the years from Gluck and
Telemann, to Vaughan Williams and
Prokofiev. The mood of their music
ranges from fugues and minuets to jazz
and pase doble.

Wednasday, September 17, 1997 — North Shore News — 43

Orchestra season opens

Conductor Anita Sieeman has just
returned from an international sympo-
sium in Italy on women in music, repre-
senting the Association of Canadian
Women Composers. Sleeman is a former
faculty member of Capilano College's
music transfer program. She has many
commissioned works behind her, some of
which the Ambleside Orchestra has per-
formed.

The group invites violin and viola

players to join the orchestra, particularly
advanced string, students who would ben-
efit from an orchestral experience. In the
wind section, the oboe and one French
horn chair are vacant. Auditions are not
required, but an intermediate level of
sight reading is recommended. Questions
on leveis can be answered by orchestra
manager Hilary Clark at 926-3930 or e-
pail hilary_clark@be.sympatico ca.

Rehearsals are Wednesdays at the West
Vancouver Seniors’ Centre, 21st at
Esquimalt, from: 3:15. to 5:30 p.m. One
monthly evening rehearsal is planned for
the fall season.
