20092010

A concert a day will carry your woes away.

Just what the doctor ordered — eight

months of ethereal, world-class music at

David P. Gardner Hall on the University

of Utah campus.

The bitter pill we swallow each day

when we open the paper or turn on the

news can make anyone heart-sick. But treatment

is in hand with 20 professional and more than 60

student performances, prescribed courtesy of the

School of Music.

And in these financially challenging times,

you need a cure that won’t kill you. Our student

performances cost less than a movie ticket; our

Sundays@7 faculty recital series is free; and our

Virtuoso Series, featuring internationally lauded

guest artists, is a fraction of the price

you’d pay in other cities.

So come take a guilt-free dose of

the world’s best medicine: an evening

of uplifting music.

Virtuoso Series – World-Renowned MastersIntimate recital concerts by the established concert artists of our day and the stars of the future. Past performers have included violinist Joshua Bell, pianist Murray Perahia, and the Vienna Boys Choir.

Sundays@7 – Faculty Recital SeriesFree, one-hour concerts by our faculty virtuosi on Sunday evenings, when parking is readily available. Showcase concerts feature several faculty performing groups, and Spotlight concerts highlight a faculty soloist or small ensemble.

Chamber Music Society of Salt Lake CityEight concerts by internationally acclaimed chamber music groups, presented in partnership with the School of Music.

Master ClassesAllow our students to learn from legendary performers. The public is always welcome!

BandsOur bands include our premier Wind Ensemble; the highly visible Marching Utes and Pep Band, which perform at athletic events; the Symphonic Band; and the award-winning Percussion Ensemble.

Chamber MusicThe school offers a variety of instrumental ensembles, including the New Music Ensemble, a Wind Ensemble, and multiple string quartets.

ChoirsMore than 150 students sing in the school’s three choirs: the internationally acclaimed University of Utah Singers, the A Cappella Choir, and the Women’s Choir.

JazzOur award-winning jazz program includes two big bands, numerous combos, and two guitar ensembles.

PianoWith more than 75 majors, the piano area features its students in two concerts each year — the SummerArts Piano Competition and its 100-performer Monster Concert.

OrchestrasThe school boasts three orchestral ensembles: the Utah Philharmonia, our premier orchestra; the Utah Philharmonia Chamber Orchestra, an elite string group; and the Utah Campus Symphony, with both music- and non-music majors.

OperaSolo voice students collaborate annually to produce the Lyric Opera Ensemble’s fall Scenes program and a fully staged opera in Kingsbury Hall each spring.

Since composing his first song at age five and becoming a member of the Dominican Republic’s National Symphony Orchestra at age 16,

pianist and composer Michel Camilo has risen to the top of the charts with every performance and each new CD release. Combining his classical training from The Juilliard School with his own Latin-jazz roots, the Grammy Award-winning artist creates an entirely new sound that leaves audiences enraptured.

Opera

Each spring, our vocal students collaborate to produce a fully staged opera in Kingsbury Hall. This year’s selection, Poulenc’s tragic lyric opera, Dialogues of the Carmelites, tells the story of a wealthy young heroine, Blanche de la Force, who enters an order of devout nuns seeking refuge, but instead faces her fears and masters her life as the French revolution unfolds. The powerful, highly emotional score deals with themes of political power and freedom, personal spirituality, redemption, and ultimate sacrifice.
