Your tribute to this great composer/musician shoul-d find a warm reception in Ottawa, which has a proud musicaL tradition. I realize that the program for Ellington '90 will- keep you very busy but, if you have time, f invite you to take in the sights and sounds of our Capital City. I am certaj-n that you will go home with fond memories of both our many attractions and the hospitality of our people.

LLilllGlrm.q)€r 17-20 OTTAVI/A CANADA ou 17 AU eO MAI THE EIGHTH ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF THE DUKE ELLINGTON STUDY GROUP Welcome to ELLINGTON '90... and to Ottawa. On behalf of the organizing committee, ffi&y I say how honoured we are to host this conference. We have been guided by both the spirit and accomplishments of previous gatherings in our efforts to make this another memorable celebration of the man whose music is forever - Edward Kennedy'Duke' Ellington. For long-time conference regulars, you will know what to expect: performances by former Ellingtonians and other major interpreters of the Duke's music; presentations by researchers, musicologists, discographers, collectors and experts in all the media explored by Ellington to express his creativity - composition, recording, film, theatre and concerts. For first-time attendees, we hope you will enjoy your discoveries and decide to become part of the extended Ellington community. Ellington's music has all the qualities needed to ensure a place in the hearts of future audiences, but those audiences must be made aware of their heritage. It is therefore a primary objective of the conference committee to involve young listeners in ELLINGTON '90 and, additionally, to give them the unique opportunity of participating in a workshop led by former Ellingtonians and other guest musicians. We are delighted to welcome some twenty students from the national capital region and we hope you will share your experiences and expertise with them. Enjoy your time together as old and new friends and, most of all, enjoy our collective tribute to a musical giant of our times, THE DUKE. Lois K.
