But, all jokes aside, these cowboys cow-boys plan to make their evening one the whole family can enjoy - while learning about the cowboy's way of life. As "The Marshall" says, "Since it's in the Egyptian, we want it to be a little more consistent."

International solo artists return for music fest Continued from C-3 appeals to a broad audience .., It's not a big concern for us." Harlow says the festival has developed devel-oped a reputation for bringing musicians musi-cians that are not afraid of playing expressively. According to the director, direc-tor, "All of them are soloists so when we get together they bring so much energy, so much artistic input." As soon as artists arrive, rehearsals begin. Because there is no conductor, it is important for musicians musi-cians to familiarize themselves with their fellow performers' work in order to pull off a flawless performance. Even though a person may not be familiar with chamber music, Harlow insists each program will have something some-thing that appeals to everyone. The general public, for the most part, is familiar with the composers that have been selected. During the festival, two special events will take place. Opening night will feature a pre-concert reception to celebrate the festival's 20th year. July 20 is the "Gala Benefit" fundraiser for the Park City Chamber Music Society. Cellist Mark Kosower and pianist Jee-Won Oh, a husband and wife team will perform at Main Street's Stanfield Art gallery as part of the benefit. Heavy hors d'oeuvres will also be served. With more concerts added to this year's festival, it would be no surprise if attendance increased.
