Published: August 31, 2021 | Author: Ashley H Palmer | Read Time: 3 minutes
Southern Utah University’s Department of Music is searching for pianists of all levels of experience and all age groups to be a part of this year’s monstrous Piano Monster Concert. This concert will be held on Tuesday, October 26, 2021, at 7 p.m. in the Heritage Center Theater.
There will be multiple Steinway and Boston grand pianos on the stage. Two or three pianists at each piano will perform piano ensemble music in groups that are divided according to their age and ability. With multiple pianos on stage, this truly becomes a “Piano Monster”. Rehearsals will be held during the weeks leading up to the concert. Attendance at these rehearsals is encouraged but not required.
Dr. Lawrence Johnson, Chair of the Department of Music at SUU, says, “This event is an excellent opportunity for people of all ages and skill levels to collaborate and perform in a professional venue with several pianos on stage. It is an event that cannot be seen or heard anywhere else in southern Utah!”
Registration for this event is $5 per person. There will be a charge of $5 to $15 to purchase music (available through Cedar City Music or online). There will be a mandatory dress rehearsal on Monday, October 25, 2021 in the Heritage Center Theater. Those interested in performing must register by October 8, 2021. Late registrations will be accepted if space is available in any of the groups. Registered participants can play in as many groups as they are interested in with no extra fee. Teachers are welcome to play with any group.
Each performer at the concert will be given two complimentary tickets to the final concert. Participants are not required to purchase a ticket. Tickets for adults will be $6 and for youth will be $3. Admission is free for SUU faculty/staff (and one guest) and students with a current ID.
