The buses were filled by elementary through high <br />ththth <br />school students from Eugene, Springfield, Junction City, Creswell, Cottage <br />Grove and Roseburg. As resident companies of the Hult Center, these two <br />organizations annually offer low-cost, educational performances to youth <br />throughout the region and bring students who might not otherwise have the <br />opportunity to attend to the Silva Concert Hall. <br /> <br />The Eugene Ballet Company’s performance of Tchaikovsky’s classical ballet <br />Swan Lake was attended by 1,700 youth, and the Eugene Symphony’s two <br />performances of Gustav Holst’s The Planets by almost 5,000 students. This <br />year, the Hult Center proudly provided the Eugene Ballet Company’s youth <br />event with $2,500 for 500 scholarships from the Britta Putjenter Memorial <br />Education Fund established by Ms. Putjenter’s husband, Klaus Putjenter. <br /> <br />Had a decibel reader been in the Hult Center lobby after the Tuesday, Feb. 12, performance of The Planets by the Eugene <br />Symphony, it would have gauged the same as a sold-out football game! Middle and high school students beamed with joy as <br />they left the concert. “What a sight to see and hear these students coming out of the Silva Concert Hall,” said a smiling <br />Marcia James, Hult Center ticket office manager. <br /> <br />Cameron Sizemore, son of Hult Center Events Manager Theresa Sizemore, and his entire school, enjoyed Swan Lake. <br />Cameron was spotted posting on the Hult Center’s Post-it Wall (photo above). <br /> <br />For more information, contact Community Events ManagerBillie Moser at billie.c.moser@ci.eugene.or.us or 541-682-6347. <br /> <br />Will You Read this Book to Me? <br />After her Beginning Dance class at Petersen Barn Community Center, Sofia and her <br />mom, Sarah, stopped by a local restaurant where Officer Dan Long was eating his <br />lunch. With book in hand, Sofia asked, “Officer Dan, will you read this book to me?" <br /> <br />Officer Long read the whole book to her on his lunch break and then discussed the <br />moral of the story with Sofia. Sofia’s mom, Sarah, says, “We love Officer Dan!” <br /> <br />For more information, contact Kathy Madison at 541-682-6342. <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 1 <br />February 21, 2013 <br />
