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.
