The Dallas Triple Crown Continues



May is the month for the second and third legs of the Dallas Triple Crown, the most ambitious participatory sport package ever launched in Dallas. The Triple Crown events are designed for anyone with a modest amount of training. The first event, the 10,000-meter Azalea Run footrace, took place last month. The second leg, to be held May 9, is a new event called Tour Dallas ’87, a 23.5-mile bicycle race that covers Turtle Creek, McKinney Avenue, downtown, East Dallas, Lower Greenville Avenue, White Rock Lake, Lakewood, and the West End. The race will feature a Championship Division of elite riders and an open division of tour riders. The final leg of the Triple Crown is the President’s Triathlon on May 30. Triathletes will compete at Las Colinas in a .6-mile swim in Lake Carolyn, a twenty-mile bike ride, and an 8,000-meter run. Each entrant will receive a commemorative cycling jersey and swim cap.

There are great prizes for the winners of each event. The winner of the championship division of Tour Dallas will win an all-expense-paid trip to the Tourde France. First place in the pro division of the President’s Triathlon will receive $6,000. Amateur triathlon winners will receive all-expense-paid trips to Carmel, California.

The Dallas Youth Orchestra Turns Fifteen



This year is shaping up as a landmark year for the Greater Dallas Youth Orchestra. Made up of the finest young musicians in the Dallas area, ages ten to twenty-two, the orchestra celebrates its fifteenth anniversary this month with a gala benefit concert on May 10 at the Majestic Theatre.

The highlight of the orchestra’s fifteenth season came in March. At the suggestion of Leonard Stone, executive director of the Dallas Symphony, the Youth Orchestra was invited to make their New York debut at the Waldorf-Astoria on March 4 when Dallas’s own H. Ross Perot was awarded the Raoul Wallenberg Award because of his work on behalf of American prisoners of war in Vietnam and his lifetime of humanitarian efforts. Wallenberg was a Swedish diplomat who saved the lives of more than 100,000 Jews, primarily children, during World War II. Underwritten by the Wallenberg Committee and American Airlines, one hundred orchestra members and their chaperones made the trip to New York, where their program included Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. Subsequently, the orchestra has been invited to play at Carnegie Hall next year. The GDYO is also looking forward to moving into their new headquarters in the old pump station on Harry Hines, re-christened as the Turtle Creek Center for the Arts, later this year. For their benefit concert, Quin Mathews will emcee and Richard Giangiulio will conduct. The concert will also include a performance by guitarist Robert Guthrie. Sunday. May 10 at 2:30 pm at the Majestic Theatre, 1925 Elm. Tickets S100-$3. 340-8888, 265-0789.

Lawn Of The Dead

On May 17, Dallasites will have the opportunity to bring a picnic lunch to Pioneer Park Cemetery and participate in the historical festivities of the Historic Preservation League’s Second Annual Cemetery Picnic.

“Our picnic is a takeoff on Decoration Day, a holiday celebrated around the turn of the century,” says League executive director Jim Bratton. “On Decoration Day, grandparents used to take their grandchildren to the cemetery to teach them about their family history. They decorated the graves of their loved ones and stayed in the cemetery for a picnic.”

In keeping with the Decoration Day tradition, historians A.C. Greene and Judge Newton Fitzhugh will conduct tours of gravesites and give historical backgrounds of some of Dallas’s founding fathers who are buried there-names like Akard, Harwood, Stemmons, Sale, Young, Field, Peak, and Pearl. SMU archaeologists will be on hand to conduct informal grave stone rubbing classes and to discuss tombstone symbolism. Materials for rubbings will be provided free of charge.

the graves of philanthropist Juliette Fowler, Civil War district attorney James K. Polk Record, and Nicholas Darnell, one of the few Dallasites to serve in the legislature of the Republic of Texas.

The Second Annual Cemetery Picnic is open to the public and will be held from 1 pm-3 pm, May 17 in Pioneer Park Cemetery, located on the north perimeter of the Dallas Convention Center at Young and Akard Streets. A rain date is set for May 24. 821-3290. -Robin Posner

Porgy And Bess Stops In Dallas

No other musical work so completely captures the soul of America as does George Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess. Drawing on the Negro spiritual, jazz, classical music, Broadway, and Tin Pan Alley, Gershwin created a masterpiece unlike any other grand opera, with an extraordinarily broad popular appeal and an enduring emotional depth.

The national touring production of Porgy and Bess, based in Houston but co-produced by thirteen opera companies including the Dallas Opera, makes its Dallas stop this month. John DeMain conducts. Jack O’Brien is stage director, and the cast alternates bass-baritones Donnie Ray Albert and Terry Cook as Porgy, sopranos Carmen Balthrop and Henrietta Davis as Bess, baritones Gregg Baker and William Bradley-Johnson as Crown, soprano Priscilla Bas-kerville and mezzo-soprano Patricia Miller as Serena, and tenors Larry Marshall and Krister St. Hill as Sportin’ Life. Performances are May 13, 14, 15, & 16 at 8 pm and May 16 & 17 at 2 pm at Fair Park Music Hall. Tickets $40-$4. 871-0090.
