2018 Piano Monster Concert ParticipantsSouthern 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 monstrous Piano Monster Concert. This concert will be held on Tuesday, December 3, 2019 at 7 p.m. in the Heritage Center Theater.

Anthony Malachowski, SUU piano student, says, “The Piano Monster Concert is important because it’s a great opportunity for pianists of all ages to get experience performing onstage.”

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. Rehearsals will be held during the weeks leading up to the concert. Attendance at these rehearsals is encouraged but not required.

Of the concert, Maia Wimmer, SUU student, shares, “It gives children a low pressure opportunity to perform and share their talents with their peers and their teachers and their families.”

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 The Music Store in St. George or online). Dress rehearsal will be Monday, December 2, 2019. Those interested in performing must register by October 18. 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. 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.

Join this monstrous piano concert as it takes over the stage of Cedar City’s Heritage Center Theater. For more information, please visit suu.edu/pva/music/monsterconcert.
