GLBT
COMMUNITY HIGHLY VISIBLE AT COUNTY DEMOCRATIC FUNDRAISER
The Oklahoma County Democratic Party
gave recognition to the Cimarron Alliance Group,
Stonewall Democrats, and the Oklahoma Gay and Lesbian
Political Caucus at its Millennium Dinner tonight at
Applewood's. Cimarron Alliance was recognized for
contributing $2000 for the fundraiser, and the Stonewall
Democrats filled 2 tables with GLBT Democrats. Karen
Parsons, co-chair of the Stonewall Democrats and founder,
past president and current treasurer of Equal! at Lucent
Technologies, was called upon to read the names of some
of the contributors to tonight's fundraiser, and she took
the opportunity to announce the existence of the new
Stonewall Democrats club in Oklahoma City, pointing out
that they had 2 tables filled with members from the
Stonewall Democrats and the Oklahoma Gay and Lesbian
Political Caucus, including Kent Doss (also of the
University of Oklahoma Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual Alliance)
and OGLPC male co-chair Paul Thompson (OGLPC is non-partisan
but many of its members are active in the Democratic
Party). Several members of the Cimarron Alliance board
filled yet another table, including Edward Kromer, vice-president
Paul Bashline, and past president Terry Gatewood.
Gatewood closed the evening by rallying the crowd to
contribute to the Oklahoma County Democratic Party. The
sold-out event raised over $10,000.
WORLD-CLASS
COMPOSER TO VISIT OKC
Internationally celebrated composer
John Corigliano, whose Symphony No.
1 was written in response to the
AIDS epidemic, will be visiting the OCU School of Music
on January 28 and 29. Corigliano, who has composed over
60 works, will lead workshops, participate in discussion
forums, and give concerts on Friday, Jan 28, and Sat, Jan
29.
1991 was a banner year for Corigliano: his Symphony
No. 1 won awards for best new
composition, and his first opera, The
Ghosts of Versailles, won
Composition of the Year at the first International
Classic Music Awards. The Daniel Barenboim-led Chicago
Symphony Orchestra recording of Symphony
No. 1 won the Grammy that year (The
Symphony was
commissioned by the CSO while Corigliano was composer-in-residence
there). A new production of The
Ghosts of Versailles opened a new
opera house in Hanover, Germany last April.
Selections from Corigliano's works will be performed at
free concerts both nights. In addition, there will be
lectures, discussion forums and rehearsals both days, and
both concerts will be followed by receptions. All events
will take place in the Kirkpatrick Fine Arts Building on
the campus of Oklahoma City University, 2501 N
Blackwelder, and are open to the public. For
more info call 521-5401.
