                                 ______


                        HON. ANDREA H. SEASTRAND

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 14, 1995
  Mrs. SEASTRAND. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to invite my colleagues to 
join with the 22d Congressional District of California as we celebrate 
the 25th anniversary of the San Luis Obispo Mozart Festival. Presented 
during the weeks of July 21 through August 6, 1995, the festival is a 
superior salute to the music and life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
  Over the past 25 years, San Luis Obispo residents and tourists from 
all over the world have enjoyed the festival's performances of works by 
composers of classical to contemporary. Audiences have a rare privilege 
to enjoy some of the greatest compositions of all time surrounded by 
the serenity and beauty of the San Luis Obispo County landscape. From 
vineyards to music halls and from quaint chapels to the historic 
Mission of San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, music lovers keep coming back 
year after year to enjoy the festival.
  The San Luis Obispo Mozart Festival is also well known for its 
educational programs conducted in and around the performances. For 
adults, there is an Akademie lecture series which features music 
scholars from throughout the Nation. And for the children, the Akidamie 
provides an excellent opportunity for young people to gain an 
appreciation for music.
  So, as the 22d Congressional District of California gears up for the 
25th anniversary of the San Luis Obispo Mozart Festival, I remind my 
colleagues that they are all invited to the central coast to enjoy this 
truly classic event. And to the festival itself, I say congratulations 
on a successful history and good luck for continued success in the 
future.
