Portland, OR - The Friends of the Oregon Symphony invites prospective new members to an afternoon of music in the garden, Thursday, Sept. 5, 2002, from 3 to 5:30 p.m.
Winners of the 2002 Corbett Young Artists Competition, an annual youth music contest featuring participants from the 9th through 12th grades, will perform.
The event will be held at a Dunthorpe residence whose gardens were designed by noted landscape architect Wallace Huntington. The home, by architect Richard Marlette, has been part of the Dunthorpe Garden Tour in previous years.
