Utah State University Students Perform Throughout the State
Students from Utah State University’s Caine College of the Arts, in coordination with Regional Campuses and Distance Education, venture to the eastern part of Utah to provide education and experience in the performing arts to select high school music students at Price, Union and Uintah schools.
Utah State started the event this year in response to requests from the two communities.
“Individuals in these communities requested access to the richness of the USU arts program,” said Ronda Menlove, vice provost of RCDE. “This is a sign of maturity; USU’s capability and initiative to reach out to every community.”
The tour takes place April 7-9 and features USU’s jazz orchestra and choir, directed by Jon Gudmundson and Cory Evans.
In an effort to encourage high school students to become involved in the performing arts, USU’s performing arts students will meet with students in Price and the Uintah Basin before the evening performances.
The first community performance is April 7 in Price, at the historical Geary Theater on the USU-CEU campus. The performance is free of charge and open to the public and begins at 7:30 p.m. Community members have a chance to meet and interact with the performers at a community reception following the performance.
The second community performance is Friday, April 8, at Uintah Middle School. Concert time is 7:30, with another community reception to follow.
