This is not a battle of the bands but an evening where multiple Department of Music students are in the spotlight in a variety of performance groups. The concert is free and all are invited. Music for the evening ranges from the Baroque era to the 20th century, said faculty member and concert coordinator Todd Fallis. Groups performing include the flute, trombone, clarinet and tuba ensembles, as well as the Caine Woodwind Quintet and the Brass Quintet. Corey Christiansen, a guitarist who is building an impressive reputation in the professional world, returns to his alma mater to perform Monday, March 26.
Tickets are available at the door.
For advance reservations, call 797-3011 and leave a name and number of tickets to be picked up at the door. Christiansen will present a program of jazz selections. He will be joined by musicians Lars Yorgenson on bass and Doug James on drums. Also sharing the stage for a selection is Christiansen's father, Mike, head of the guitar program in the Department of Music at Utah State. Christiansen's concert is sponsored by Utah State's guitar program and, while a father's pride shows through, Corey's artistic reputation stands on its own.
