SUU Music DepartmentThe Southern Utah University High School Honor Band returns to the Heritage Center Theater on January 14 at 6:00 pm. Under the leadership of SUU’s Director of Bands, Dr. Adam Lambert, the most talented young musicians from Utah, Arizona, and Nevada are selected to perform in this annual concert alongside SUU’s Wind Symphony. This concert is free and open to the public.

Every year, SUU’s music faculty accepts applications from high school students in the tri-state area to participate in the High School Honor Band. Lambert said, “The band is selected by audition to perform here on campus. Out of the 156 students that auditioned, 120 students were selected from 17 schools to participate in this year’s concert.”

On January 13, the High School Honor Band students come to SUU and participate in a variety of collaborative activities and rehearsals with Dr. Lambert and the SUU Wind Symphony. After just two days of rehearsals, the students culminate their learning experience with a grand concert the evening of January 14.

High school choir students from surrounding schools will also be featured as a new addition to this year’s concert. These students will have the opportunity to sing with SUU’s Concert Choir.

This will be an exciting evening full of great music performed by our region’s rising generation of musical artists. Join SUU’s High School Honor Band, Wind Symphony and Concert Choir for an enjoyable evening of music.
