This event takes place on Saturday, November 9, 2024 in conjunction with the Southern Utah University music scholarship auditions. We invite high school orchestras and ensembles with their director to join this honor orchestra event by group. Also any high school students, nominated by their directors (no audition required), can experience an outstanding opportunity to rehearse and perform, along with the festival combined orchestra, with high quality orchestral works under the direction of Dr. Xun Sun, Director of Orchestral Activities at Southern University of Utah. Fee for participation is $20 per student. Lunch will be provided by the 91ɬÂþ Music Department. Follow the links below for information, registration, and sheet music. All rehearsals and the performance will be held at our beautiful Heritage Center Theater (105 N 100 E, Cedar City, UT 84720. 435-865-2893)-
This year's guest master-teacher will be from the University of Utah. Dr. Baldwin is Director of Orchestras and Professor of Conducting at the U, as well as the Music Director and Conductor for the Salt Lake Symphony. He is the founding conductor for Sinfonia Salt Lake, a professional chamber orchestra that made its critically acclaimed debut in 2016.
