USU Guitar Students Give Spring Concert in Caine Performance Hall

Utah State University presents the annual spring Guitar Ensembles concert Monday, April 20, at 7:30 p.m. in the Caine Performance Hall. The concert is among the end-of-semester events at USU being presented by the Caine College of the Arts.

“The program will feature both acoustic guitar and electric guitar ensembles,” said Corey Christiansen, director of guitar studies in the Caine College of the Arts. “There will be music from many different genres, including rock, jazz, classical and even one punk inspired piece.”

Music majors participate in ensemble groups in order to sharpen their skills and prepare for the professional world.

“The top electric guitar ensemble will perform two pieces by Fred Hamilton, who was one of the guest artists who visited us this semester and worked with the students.” said Christiansen. “I think this concert will present student performers in both the acoustic and electric ensembles that represent the strongest crop of performers we’ve ever had at USU.”

Tickets for the Guitar Ensembles event are $10 general admission, $8 seniors and youth, $5 USU faculty and staff and free for USU students with ID. For more information and tickets, visit the CCA Box Office located in room L-101 of the Chase Fine Arts Center on USU’s campus, call 435-797-8022 or see the college’s Production Services website.
