The dances are set to 16 songs that George Gershwin composed between 1924 and 1931. The Delta Center in Salt Lake City has seen its share of monster truck pulls just as the Kent Concert Hall at Utah State University has seen its share of monstrous activity. But, in this case, the monster involved is the annual Monster Concert presented by the Department of Music and the Youth Conservatory. In the 13 th annual outing, the Monster Concert will be presented Tuesday, Feb. 13, in the Kent Concert Hall of the Chase Fine Arts Center. While the same program is presented at each performance, different performers are included.
Tickets are available at the door.
This year's Monster Concert is directed by Kelly Anderson, an award-winning pianist and Utah State graduate. Twenty-two pianos will be assembled on stage for this monstrous event. This is a venue for the students to get together to perform and have fun at the same time. For the most part, piano study is a solitary discipline. This concert gives the young musicians a chance to interact with their peers in a shared experience.
