TRIO WILL BE COOKIN’ AT NOON

azZ may conjure images of

dark, smoky after-hours clubs,
but it’s the musicians, not the at-
mosphere, that make the music
"cook". Hear some fine jazz im-
provisation in an unusual setting
when trombonist lan McDougall
and his trio, Search, appear as
part of the Noon at New West
concert series at Douglas College.
The trio also includes Ron
Johnston on keyboards and
Oliver Gannon on guitar. All
three are familiar faces on the
west coast jazz scene and alumni
of the legendary big band, Pacific
Salt. ;

The December 10th concert will
begin at 12:30 p.m. in the Perform-
ing Arts Theatre. There is no
charge for admission, and the
public is welcome to attend. The
Noon at New West series is
staged primarily so that Douglas
College music students can ex-
pericnce a wide range of different
kinds of music.

Faculty member Henry Waack,
who arranges the series, says,
"What I try to get every semester
is a lot of variety. Everything
from synthesizer music to baro-
que. The students get a chance to
listen to all kinds of music, not
just the classical things that
they’re used to. It runs the gamut
right from jazz to oratorio."

The Search performance is the
last concert of this year’s series.
For more information, please con-
tact the music department.

CHRISTMAS
CAROL
CONCERT

Vou and old alike are sure to
enjoy a concert of Christmas
carols and festive music by the
Douglas College Community
Choir and Youth Choir, to be
presented in New Westminster on
Wednesday, December 16.

Director Diane Loomer says the

_ group plans an exciting program

mixing old favourites with less
familiar works. Along with tradi-
tional carols, the choir will also
perform the Gloria from the
Heilig Mass (Holy Mass) of Josef
Haydn, Sanctus by Gounod,
Handel's Hallelujah Chorus, and

 

the Wachet Auf (Sleepers, Awake)
by Bach. They will also sing ar-
rangements of Swedish, Italian
and Spanish carols.

“Throughout the program,”
Loomer adds, "the audience will
be invited to join in and sing
some of the carols with us. It’s
definitely designed as a family
concert.”

The singers will be accom- —
panied by trumpet, flute, and

organ. The concert will be held in

Queen’s Avenue United Church,
529 QOucen’s Avenue, New
Westminster where, as Loomer ex-
plains, "they have a huge,
wonderful, pipe organ." Jon
Benkin will be organist tor the
event.

One of the highlights of the eve-
ning will be a candlelight
