Bill Byrnes the Dean of the college noted, “We have an extraordinary range of events on our calendar. Our faculty and staff are hard at work with our students preparing concerts, performances, lectures and exhibitions that will span the year from September to May.”

Some of the highlights of the season include the Masterworks six concert series and the second year of performances by the faculty music ensemble, the SUU Halversen String Quartet. The Theatre and Dance department will present the Stephen Sondheim classic musical Into the Woods and the Braithwaite Fine Arts Gallery will be featuring Los Caprichos, 80 etchings by the Spanish master artist Francisco de Goya.

Dean Byrnes added, “Many of our events are free or are very low cost. We invite the community to attend our event because our audiences help play a vital role in preparing our students for their careers as artists and teachers. The feedback from our audiences and gallery visitors is invaluable.”
