“Spanish Guitar & Voices”
Royal Academy of Music in London & Weber State University
The Royal Academy of Music in London guitar professor Fabio Zanon, is an active international soloist and gives masterclasses at many prestigious venues in North America, Europe and Brazil. Winner of the Francisco Tarrega Prize and the Guitar Foundation of America competitions, Mr. Zanon will be involved in intense rehearsals with WSU Chamber Choir students and Dr. Mark Henderson during his residence in Ogden. This collaboration will culminate in a rare performance of the Romancero Gitano.
In 1951, Spanish composer Castelnuovo-Tedesco chose seven poems from Federico Garcia Lorca’s 1921 collection Poema del canto jondo for his chorus and guitar cycle. Romancero Gitano is one of almost 100 compositions he composed for guitar, writing that reflects his long association with the virtuoso Spanish guitarist Andrés Segovia.

“AZURE” Concert for Families with Autism with Nobilis Piano Trio
Val A. Browning Center - Allred Theater
This is a wonderful opportunity for families with autism to enjoy themselves with their developmentally disabled loved ones, while listening to incredible live music performed by extraordinary musicians. It is quite OK if there are spontaneous vocalizations, (or yells for that matter!), hand flapping, rocking or other types of body movements from our autistic audience. This concert also provides a welcoming environment for attendees to interact with artists.

“This was chamber music of the highest order. . .[and] proves that Uzur’s brainchild has the makings of a great addition to the Beehive State’s festival scene.” (Ed Reichel,Deseret Morning News)
"To hear Beethoven’s music performed live, by seasoned musicians, is to understand why it stands the test of time — fire and fury and delicacy in turns, it’s all there waiting to be discovered by such capable hands. The audience gave this piece a standing ovation, and rightfully so….It was satisfying to see the seats nearly all filled in the Browning Center’s Allred Theater...
