QUARTETTO GELATO, the Canadian group due in Shelton on Valen-
tine's Day, includes left to right, Claudio Vena, Peter De Sotto,
George Meanweli and Cyntha Steljes.
Quartetto to t:00,00rform
Quartette Gelato, headliner in the Mason
County Community Concert Association's 1998-
1999 season, will visit Shelton on Valentine's
Day for a matinee concert.
The group, hailed as "the hottest group to
come out of Canada since the Canadian Brass,"
will play fbr a performance at 3 p.m. Sunday,
February 14, in the Shelton High School Audi-
torium.
Concert association members are admitted
with their season tickets, but individual tickets
are available at Money Savers Pharmacy in Ev-
ergreen Square and at the door. They cost $20
for adults and $10 for students.
QUARTETTO GELATO features Cynthia
Steljes on oboe and English horn, Peter De Sotto
on violin and mandolin, arranger Claudio Vena
on viola and accordion and George Meanwell on
cello, guitar and mandolin. De Sotto also sings.
The eclectic mix of instruments and the
group's exploration of many musical styles
makes fi)r some wide-ranging concerts. Programs
include classical favorites, operatic arias, tradi-
thmal melodies, tangos and gypsy fiddling.
Since the quartet debuted in the U.S. in 1994,
it has played coast to coast and around the
world. Reviewers have been impressed with the
musicians' virtuosity as well as their crowd-
pleasing dry humor.
"Quartette Gelato plays with both the preci-
sion expected of a string quartet in Beethoven
and the abandonment of gypsies improvising
around a campfire," said a reviewer in The Ten-
nessean in Nashville.
DE SOTTO IS described as an operatic tenor
in the tradition of the great Italian masters who
sings such classics as "Danny Boy" and "O Sole
Mio."
In 1996 the group's growing U.S. presence was
recognized by an award from National Public Ra-
dio as "Peribrmance Today's" Debut Artist of the
Year. The panel of music critics making the se-
lection characterized the quartet as "an amazing
ensemble that achieves the nearly impossible:
they play salon music with real style and classi-
cal music with real precision."
The group's CD, Quartette Gelato, with music
by J.C. Bach, Donizetti and Puccini and tradi-
tional melodies, made Classicial Music maga-
zine's national bestseller list.
Quartette Gelato's tentative program for
Valentine's Day will include the traditional
"Chitarra Romana," Antonin Dvorak's "Five Ba-
gatelles," Augustin Lara's "Granada," Paul
Creston's "Prelude and Dance," Edouard Lalo's
"Intermezzo," Antonio Pasculli's "Concerto Supra
Motivi dall'Opera," Richard Strauss' "Der Rosen-
kavalier Suite," Astor Piazzolla's "Tanti Anni
Prima," Ernst Krahmer's "Rondeau Hongrois,"
Vittorio Monti's "Czardas" and the traditional
"Danny Boy."
Missoula Childr,00n's Theatre
calls f()r auditions f3r 'Tales'
Auditions are coming up Mon-
day for the musical Tales of Hans
Christian Andersen, a Missoula
Children's Theatre production.
The Shelton Kiwanis Club is
working with the traveling troupe
of thespians who spend a week in
town, garnering a cast of kids,
practicing madly all week, and
performing twice at the end of the
week for the public.
The troupe seeks young people
age 5 and up through high school
for lead and supporting roles in
the classic stories rewritten for
stage. Although not all those who
audition will get parts, more than
50 youngsters will be cast, say the
spokespeople for the annual pro-
gram.
AUDITIONS WILL begin at
4 p.m. February 8 and last for two
hours. Young aspirants to the
stage need only show up, said Ki-
wanian Dave Thacher. There's
nothing to prepare for, he said.
However, he noted that would-be
performers should bring their
voices along, since Tales of Hans
Christian Andersen is a family
musical.
"It's serious fun," says a
spokesperson for the Missoula-
based theater troupe. "Most of
those cast will rehearse all week."
Some of the cast members will be
asked to stay to begin practice for
the performance immediately af-
ter the auditions. Rehearsals will
be from 4 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday
through Thursday at Shelton
Middle School and will be at Shel-
ton High School on Friday. The
activities will culminate in two
performances scheduled for 3 and
7 p.m. February 13.
The Simpson Corporation and
Simpson Community Federal
Credit Union are co-sponsors for
the production, Thacher noted.
ROLES TO be cast Monday
include young Hans, Ida, groups
of players, villagers and misers,
and a bouquet of mischievous
flowers.
Assistant directors will also
cast to help with rehears
through the week and to take
essential backstage res
ties, said a spokesperson for

Sayan and petitioners assert
Former 35th District state rep-
resentative Doug Sayan called
the Mason County commission-
ers to task at Tuesday's board
meeting for their persistence
with court appeals and challeng-
es to the state Growth Manage-
ment Act•
"I'm not here to chastise you
but to encourage you to get out of
the courts and into arbitration, to
take a different tack," Sayan
said. "We don't need more court
challenges to the law. You should
respect and encourage our repre-
sentative form of government."
The Libby Road resident
urged commissioners John
Bolender and Cindy Olsen to
comply with the spirit and the in-
tent of the act which was passed
by both the state house and senate
after some of the most intense
debate Sayan had witnessed. "I
know. I was there. I was your
representative," he noted.
IN PASSING the growth act,
the legislature was relying on
strong local leadership to imple-
ment the goals, he continued•

during the past two weeks. As of
Monday, the project contractor,

Although he said it has not
