The next stop was in Northern Michigan where he conducted the Interlochen Arts Academy Festival Orchestra and Chorus. The program featured the works of Dave Brubeck, who appeared as a piano soloist, and selections from his new oratorio, "The Light in the Wilderness," recently recorded with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, on Decca Gold Label Records. Finally, in Chicago, Erich conducted the Civic Orchestra of Chicago in a concert at Orchestra Hall. This is the training orchestra of the Chicago Symphony and includes the best young talent from the Chicago and nearby Wisconsin areas.
A classmate deeply concerned with education, Dave Cook is running for a spot on the Needham, Mass., School Committee. His reasons include: a) One half of his property taxes are designated for schools and he seeks a fair return from reasonable expenditures, b) Concern that college-bound students get the message that education leads to jobs, not just more education. And finally, c) the apparent apathy of many citizens toward both school goals and school problems. We might all show Dave's concern as parents and/or taxpayers. We should all make ourselves aware of local education rather than sense the workings of school systems only through our pocketbooks.
