Noon Hour
Musical
Tradition
Continues at
Douglas
College

Tic musical tradition continues
this spring as the Noon at New
West concert series enters its four-
teenth year at Douglas College.

Music Instructor Henry Waack
says the emphasis on varicty
keeps it continually fresh, and this
spring will be no different. “We
have different styles of music,
ranging from classical to jazz.

Ihe Noon at New West series
was desiyned to give Douglas Col-
lege music students exposure toa
Wide range of music, and has
grown into a musical tradition in
New Westminster over fourteen
years. Waack, the co-ordinator of
the series, has negotiated over 250
concerts during that time

“It’s quite demanding on top
of my teaching, but even after four-
teen years of being involved, it is
sull very valuable and interesting
for me,” says Waack. “I’ve gotten
to know the musical community
iInand out of the lower mainland
very well.”

On bebruary 7, Waack himself
will take the stage to provide
plano accompaniment to the well-
known soprano Fiona Blackburn.
It promises to be an interesting
program that “mixes opera with
well-known show tunes,” says
Waack
