Music Box Concerts are FREE for children and accompanying adults. Each concert features an outstanding USU student ensemble that will highlight one instrumental family.

Current research shows that hearing and “good ears” develop in early childhood. That’s why these special concerts are designed for ages 0-8. Older children are welcome too.

After the concert children will have an opportunity to interact with the musicians and look closely or even touch the featured instruments.

MUSES

Arts/Entertainment

The word "muse" describes a source of inspiration. This annual music therapy concert aims to highlight the multi-faceted sources of inspiration for USU music therapy students both personally and professionally. In our field of study, we often talk about “self as instrument”, or rather, being the instrument of change within the therapeutic relationship. During MUSES, we get to shift our focus to also celebrate our external musical skills and instruments as extensions of ourselves, and the tools by which we get to share creative self-expression with the world. Concert goers will enjoy original compositions in addition to contemporary and classical pieces that have been intentionally chosen to represent the experiences of our students and potential clinical applications of these works in music therapy practice. Additionally, attendees may have the opportunity to get involved first-hand with our interactive lobby experience before the performance. For more information, visit www.usumtsa.weebly.com.

FSQ at USU: Nature’s Resonance

Arts/Entertainment

Claude Debussy’s String Quartet in G Minor, Op. 10, a cornerstone of the chamber music repertoire, will close our October concert with its impressionistic textures and vivid harmonic language. This quartet, with its shimmering colors and dynamic interplay, provides a striking contrast to the other works on the program, capturing the visceral beauty and emotional depth that Debussy is renowned for.

"Night Fire," a work for string quartet and tenor by Akshaya Tucker, was also written for the Fry Street Quartet and premiered last spring in the NOVA series in Salt Lake City. Another work created in partnership with GLFCAM’s "Composing Earth" project, Tucker’s composition, with its vivid textures and poignant text by Wren Brian, confronts us with the terror of escaping a wildfire. The FSQ is joined by tenor Thomas Glenn for this performance.

Bartók’s Sonata No. 1 for Violin and Piano, a work of intense energy and rhythmic drive, showcases the composer’s deep connection to the folk traditions of Eastern Europe. Violinist Robert Waters and pianist Jason Hardink will bring this electrifying piece to life, capturing the fiery spirit and intricate dialogues between the two instruments.
