Local
professionals will bring the final curtain down on the Pacific
Arts Association’s extraordinary 2000-2001 season.
Walter
Schwede, Grant Donellan, Joseph Gottesman, and John Friesen,
composing Quattro Maestri, will put forth their local talents,
nationally cultured, on the PAC stage March 4 at 3:30 p.m.

have been trained at the finest universities, New York University,
Julliard School of Music, Peabody Conservatory, Yale School
of Music, and Oberlin Conservatory. Schwede, violin, has
associated with the Seattle and Nashville Symphonies, and
has taught at DePauw University, Belmont College, and now
at Western.
Donellan,
also violin, in addition to performing with a number of
symphony orchestras nationwide, has toured Europe with the
American Sinfonietta. Gottesman, viola, has been honored
with the Kahn Award for the Arts, performed extensively
with the Memphis Symphony and the New York Pops, and is
highly sought after coast to coast as a recording artist
and chamber ensemble performer.
Friesen,
cello, winner of prizes in the Montreal Symphony competition
and the Eckhardt-Grammatte national Music Competition, is
now teaching at Western.
