Local
musicians will converge Saturday to help one of their
own. The Blues Allstars and special
guest Henry Cooper (pictured)
will perform in "Musicians Unite," a benefit concert,
at Quackers Last Stop. Admission is by donation, and the
proceeds will go toward Mo Mconnell of the band Mo'Fessor,
whose musical equipment was recently stolen. See Saturday
Calendar.
The
UO Cultural Forum has created the first collective demonstration
annual World AIDS Day
on campus, with the dual goal of education and awareness.
Multiple events will commemorate the day, including an
AIDS-related art exhibit, guest lecturers, information
from the HIV Alliance, an African dance performance, a
poetry slam and a candle vigil. All parts of the program
are intended for a single purpose: to awaken the hearts
and minds of students to the growing AIDS epidemic. 
The
Oregon Percussion Ensemble
starts December off with an avant-garde bang Monday, when
the musicians celebrate the release of acclaimed modern
composer Meyer Kupferman's new album. The group, which
has toured throughout the Northwest and boasts alumni
with graduate degrees from Juilliard, Eastman, Peabody
and beyond, will perform Kupferman's cutting-edge classical
work, Percussion Symphony. The evening will also
include several other unconventional works as well as
guest performances by marimbist Sean Wagoner and alto
saxophonist Brad Foley. See Monday Calendar.
