Brent Wells, conductor;Men's Chorus will embark on its first-ever international tour in just a few short weeks. This concert is a preview of what our friends in Sweden, Latvia, and Estonia will experience, namely: "A Men's Chorus Portrait." We will showcase the unique Men's Chorus sound, ranging from sacred and secular to heartfelt and exuberant, featuring selections that are distinctly American alongside repertoire from Scandinavia and the Baltics.

Mark Ammons, director;Shake off the winter blues with the snappy and happy sounds of jazz and popular favorites as performed by the BYU Jazz Ensemble!

Dr. L. Nathan Seamons, conductor;"Old, New, Borrowed, Blue." This rhyme was originally meant to symbolize luck for a bride on her wedding day. The Symphonic Band presents a program that brings this old adage to the concert hall. Join us for something old, new, borrowed, and BLUE!

Sonja Poulter, conductor; Women's Chorus will present music that lifts, empowers, and nourishes the soul with sacred and secular pieces from the brilliant composers of our time and those long before us.

The concert will feature music about and for children, including David Maslanka's monumental A Child's Garden of Dreams, Ryan George's whimsical Firefly, and a musical setting of Margaret Wise Brown's classic children's book Goodnight Moon. The concert will conclude with a live cartoon soundtrack—we provide the music and you imagine the cartoon!
