The Utah State University Symphony Orchestra presents it fall concert, Joyful!, in celebration of the 75th anniversary of the St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Parish. The concert is Friday, Oct. 14, at 7:30 p.m. at St. Thomas Aquinas, 725 S. 250 East in Hyde Park.
“The program features Torelli’s Trumpet Concerto with USU faculty soloist Max Matzen and Bach’s Prelude in C minor performed by faculty organist Lynn Thomas,” said Sergio Bernal, director of the USU Symphony Orchestra. “In an arrangement by parishioner Deborah Baker Monday, Panis Angelicus will be performed by faculty soprano Cindy Dewey and faculty clarinetist Nicholas Morrison together with the USU Chamber Singers conducted by director Cory Evans.”
The performance also features the choirs and the young violinists from St. Thomas Aquinas, the young violinists from El Sistema Utah and the USU Chamber Singers.
“We will end the evening with the Ode to Joy from Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with its universal message of unity among people under the loving embrace of God,” Bernal said. “We are looking forward to a beautiful music experience in celebration of St. Thomas Aquinas. I have a feeling the congregation will be very moved.”
