Walter Radlowsky conducts the Barrie Concert Band at park concert Tues day The next band concert ts scheduled for July l7 at Sunnidale Park star tlng at 7pm Examiner Photo City Concert band plays to small crowd at park By STEPHEN EAUER Of The Examiner Theres something very ap pealing about summer park concerts the idea of sitting outdoors on warm evening and listening to music seems as natural in the summer as walk ing barefoot on beach Often the quality of the music is less important than the quality of the weather Tuesday night at Sunnidale Park the weather was co operative and so to degree were the musicians who make up the Barrie Concert Band directed by Walter Radlowsky The concert band performs series of park concerts every summer in Barrie The band draws its members from adult and student musicians in the area and relies on city grant to cover expenses This years grant comes to more than $6500 and the first question that comes to mind is whether Bar rie taxpayers are getting their moneys worth My first reaction is that theyre not Tuesday nights concert drew only about 50 peo pie to the park and the music provided by the band was disappointment The bands repertoire covers the usual rangc of light pop and semi classical numbers BEATLES MEDLEY The pop numbers included Beatles medley and couple of Barry Manilow hits Pop music suits park concert perfectly its light and easily digested but when the musicians plays the music as routinely as they played Tuesday night its easy to get distracted by the faintest The ryphon Theatre whisper of conversation fron the couple next to you The more demanding selec tions on the program didnt in spire the band to show more ex citement than they displayed for the Manilow compositions The hand must be capable of greater things even if the au diences dont demand it and if it isnt its little difficult to understand why the city is so generous with its financial sup port when ether performing groups in the city have to make do with much smaller grants HELP To be sure the concert band also provides help for the stage band which presented far superior concert last month at Sunnidale Park Many of the WEST ST 3266542 musicians in the stage band also play in the concert band and its obvious that different style of music produces more enthusiastic and more musical performance The concerts band strength seems to lie in the trumpet sec tion judging from the solos heard Tuesday evening The calibre of the other musicians ranged from competent to mediocre The concert band should improve as the summer progresses but local audiences may not have the patience to wait until the dying days of August for the quality to im prove The next concert band per formance will be July 17 at pm at Sunnidale Park ESCAPE mam fincamaz

Monica Sheltons watercolors are softer and more romantic tier work has direct emo tional appeal that shouldnt analysed too rigorously inc painting presents trcc blossoms to the viewer with color and shading as soft and smooth as silk Mrs Shelton feels her sub ject strongly and that gives her work very direct appeal The two landscapes soften and blur the details of trees concentrating on color and balance rather than realistic intcipritat ion of the scene shes painting Colors are lowkey and intricate details are left to the viewers imagination lat llart takes this approach step further llcr watercolor landscapes strip scene to the bare essentials and then con struct color designs using those essentials as the framework Her work takes landscapes very close to abstraction enough rccognimblc detail is providml to give shape to the painting but plenty of room is left for the artistic interpreta tion And Then There Was Light for example uses only two elements bluc color bands representing light and short spiky trees to create dramatic landscape Hart uses strong color with great success in her watercolors and manages to convey intensity with bold strokes llart achieves remarkable power in her paintings Most watercolor artists either downplay the drama of what they paint or follow the conven tional realism thats become trademark of watercolor art Ilart plunges straight to the heart of her subject matter and that makes her work something special The show of work by the three artists continues at the tilarkson llotcl until the end of the month 80 IMPERIAL
