‘Pianist to perform

Enjoy a very special
evening of music with
world-renowned pianist,
Anton Kuerti who will be
playing at the REM Lee
Theatre at 8 p.m. Satur-
day, Feb.1.

The performance is

sponsored by the Terrace
Concert Society. Tickets
available at Sight and
Sound,
_ With the release of his
complete Beethoven
Sonatas on Columbia/
Odyssey, Anton Kuerti’s
Status as ‘‘one of
the most extraordin-
arily creative perform-
ers in music today’’
has again been reaffirm-
ed,

Critics have praised
his cycle as the finest
ever made.

Kuerti is not. just a
‘Beethoven specialist’’
— his repertoire includes
35 concerti by 12 com-

‘mann,

posers, and his records
of Chopin, Mendels-
sohn, Schubert, Schu-
Scriabin and
others have been called
‘‘unsurpassable indeed’’
by High Fidelity.

Born in Vienna, Kuerti
soon emigrated to the
U.S. and studied with
such eminent musicians
as Arthur Loesser, Miec-
zyslaw Horszowski, and
Rudolf Serkin.

He was just 11 when
he’ played his first impor-
tant concert — the Grieg
Concerto with Arthur
Fiedler — and he shot to
prominence a few years
later when he won the
famous Leventritt
Award.

Since then he has
toured 25 countries and
performed with most of
North America’s most
famous conductors and
orchestras, including

Szell & the Cleveland Or-
chestra, Ormandy & the
Philadelphia Orchestra,
Steinberg & the Pitts-
burgh Orchestra, the
New York Philharmon-
ic, and the Orchestras of
San Francisco, St. Louis,
Denver and Honolulu.

In Canada, Kuerti has
played repeatedly with
every orchestra, in-
cluding 23 concerts with
the Toronto Symphony
and three tours with the
NACO, which took him
as guest artist to Ger-
many, Italy, Poland,
Russia and the U.S.

He has given recitals
and chamber music per-
formances from coast to
coast, and is heard
regularly on CBC radio
and TV, not only as a
pianist, but also as a
commentator, conductor
and composer.

Canada have introduced

Jobs Strategy is being
implemented for the
benefit of youth,

Cleanup
still on

by Daniele Berquist
TERRACE — Some
residents of Terrace are
still mopping up after
floods caused by melting
snow last week that left
many homes with water
in basements.

The big job is drying
out carpets and cleaning
up. The city received
19cm of precipitation in
afew hours Jan. 10 caus-
ing city drains and
culverts to freeze over
backing up water.

Dave Estacaille,
maintenance manager
for the TK building on
Lazelle Ave., said
damages resulted in a
stained carpet in an an-
nouncing booth in the
basement of their
building. ‘‘It needs a
good shampooing now,”’
he noted. Water had
flooded a portion of the
basement Jan. 10,

number of different op-
tions which are designed
to assist employers in
meeting training needs
for employees which
result from technological
change, shifting markets
and new skill re-
quirements.

Murdoch is currently
in the process of setting
up meetings with
business people around
Terrace to explain op-
tions available to them
under the job strategy
program. She explained
that employers can take
advantage of certain
aspects of the Canada
Employment Centre
(CEC) services if they
meet specific criteria.
For example a business
may have installed a
computer and require
training for staff and

management.

A business may
qualify for upgrading of
employees in the sales or
service departments if
improvements have been
made concerning
technology of products
the company sells or ser-
vices.

Businesses which are
interested in hiring and
training an individual
who has had difficulty
obtaining work may also
receive help through the
CEC. Training options
may be on a part time or
full time basis and can be
conducted on or off the
job.

terested in learning more

Strategy program can

doch at 635-7134.

Pianist Anton Kuerti will be in Terrace Saturday, Feb. 1.
