Jenny Jordan Frogley, Daniel Beck Join Chorus in Choral Music is for Lovers

Solo pop artists Jenny Jordan Frogley and Daniel Beck will heat up the Kent Concert Hall stage in the Chase Fine Arts Center with the American Festival Chorus Feb. 13 at 7:30 p.m. in the Valentines concert “Choral Music is for Lovers.”

 

The American Festival Chorus is a community-based choir sponsored by the Department of Music at Utah State University.

 

Tickets are $12, $16 and $18. They are available in person at the Caine School of the Arts Box Office in the Chase Fine Arts Center 139-B and at the Eccles Theatre Ticket Office, 43 S. Main St.; by calling 435-797-8022 or online (americanfestivalchorus.org).

 

“This is going to be a celebration of love in all its various facets,” said Craig Jessop, music director. “Romantic love, love of family, love of God, love of country, love of fellow man. It’s not just the romantic aspect.”

 

The concert will feature romantic favorites, traditional tunes to celebrate Valentine’s Day and a President’s Day tribute as well, Jessop said.

 

Frogley has recorded on more than 100 albums, sung as a soloist with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and in Radio City Music Hall and is recognized for her “sugar and spice” voice and inspirational music. She and her five-piece band will headline the concert with Beck.

 

“These are among Utah’s outstanding pop artists who have enjoyed extremely successful solo careers and also have worked together many times,” Jessop said.

 

Beck has performed in many musicals, released his own album and been featured in three “Liken the Scriptures” episodes.

 

“Dan is an outstanding and extremely versatile singer,” Jessop said. “Pop, jazz, Broadway, he does it all.”

 

The concert promises to celebrate “love and everything it encompasses,” Jessop said. “There should be something there for everyone.”
