¸: i:)(!: ¸ ; F 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.

"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.
