Te highly acclaimed Tudor
Choristers of Australia are
coming to town with a concert
Sunday, September 18 at 2:30
p.m. in Douglas College’s Per-
forming Arts Theatre in New
Westminster.

"Exquisite, impressive and su-
perb," are words critics have used
to describe the Tudor Choristers
who are on an eight-city perform-
ing tour of North America this
month.

Highly regarded for their artis-
tic interpretations of choral works
from early Renaissance to 20th
Century, the 25-voice choir will
perform works by William Byrd,
Thomas Tallis, Edmund Rubbra
and J.S. Bach during the Douglas
College performance.

The Melbourne-based choir is
under the expert guidance of
Musical Director John O’Donnell,
a master musician specializing in
carly music.

An organist, harpsichordist,
conductor and musicologist,
O’Donnell is Senior Lecturer and
Acting Dean of the School of
Music of the Victorian College of
the Arts.

Recognized as a leader in the
ficld of Baroque technique and in-
terpretation, O’Donnell’s recital
tours have taken him to North
Amcrica nine times, as well as to
England, France and Switzerland.

Under his direction the Tudor
Choristers have rapidly excelled
since their founding in 1962, and
have become one of Australia’s
outstanding choral groups.

What is the father’s role during
pregnancy and childbirth? And
experienced parents often
wonder how they can help their
older children adapt to living
with a baby brother or sister.

A positive approach to pregnan-
cy and childbearing is the aim of
Douglas College's Perinatal
Education Programs. They also

encourage family involvement in
the process of welcoming a new
member into the family.

The New Westminster college,
working in co-operation with the
Simon Fraser Health Units and
the Burnaby Health Department,
offers a series of courses for first-
time parents and a refresher
series for moms and dads who al-
ready have children. These cour-
ses are scheduled throughout the
fall of 1988 and spring of 1989.

As well as the two co-operative
series, Douglas College also offers
a variety of special classes that
focus on specific areas of interest,
