~ B12 Terrace Review — Wednesday, February 28, 1990 ‘ear of show big ambitions - - "British Columbia’s Year of _ Music 1991 will touch every region of our province. As a colorful and exciting tourism promotion, it will play a major role in British Colu- mbia’s marketing strategy, encour- aging visitors and residents alike to enjoy not just the sights, but also the sounds of British Columbia in 1991," according to publicity material circulated last month by the B.C. government and Year of Music corporate sponsors. — Last Tuesday a meeting was held at the McColl Playhouse to outline how the community of Terrace can. participate in, and benefit from, this initiative. The presentation included. an introduction from Monica Jaeschke, the project’s community marketing manager, ' and a spectacular but singularly uninformative audio visual presen- tation hyping the events planned for 1991. Jaeshke and partners answered questions individually at a "Pepsi “and cheese” gathering held in the Green Room of the McColl Play- house after the presentation. Atten- ding the meeting were representa- tives from the Music Festival, Terrace Little Theatre, Skeena . MLA Dave Parker’s office, City of Terrace, Terrace and District Arts . Council, R.E.M. Lee Theatre and many others.. According to organi- zers, British Columbia’s Year of ‘Music 1991 will build directly upon the success of Expo 86, during which the world really did dis- cover our province. British Columbia’s ‘Year of Music will feature major events by ‘international performers, an enter- tainment Roadshow that will travel the province, and a Regional Events Partnership that will work with local festival organizers to add "name" attractions to their productions. In literature promoting the Year of Music, Tourism Minister Cliff Michael points out that "faced with the Goods and Services Tax in 199], growing competition from other destinations, and a Canadian dollar that gives British Colum- bians an incentive to travel outside of the province, we are taking a very aggressive approach towards the future." Sponsored in part, by the B. C Lottery. Fund, British Columbia’s . Year of Music will receive $12 million over the next two years. At the same time an equal amount is expected from private sector spon- sors. Detailing the Year of Music’s marketing plan, Michael said that in addition to British Columbia: and Alberta, key targets markets will be Washington, Oregon, Calif- omia, Japan and Europe. Activities will take place from May to October 1991, and will be coordinated by the British Colum- bia Year of Music Society. The Society will work with indepen- dent producers as well as with varied entertainment packages of festivals, tours and events in all regions of the province. The major activities of the Year of Music are; @Roadshow °91 -- "a magical travelling cavalcade of entertain- ment which will hit the road for six months in 1991.
