Mussorgsky’s Night on Bald Mountain. While searching around for a theme for this I am delighted to again offer a family concert concert, I came upon a piece of music, written for where children of all ages are invited to attend. narrator and orchestra, entitled The Composer is Last year was the first time we had offered such a Dead. I was intrigued when I learned that the concert and I was very interested to see how the story was written by none other than Lemony children would behave during the concert.

The premise of the story of The Composer is John Pew Dead is that the composer has been murdered. Conductor and Music Director An inspector is called in to investigate this terrible Timpanogos Symphony Orchestra tragedy. Of course, the usual suspects happen to be the members of the orchestra. Each section of the orchestra is interrogated by the inspector to John Pew see where they were on the night in question. Director Through these interrogation episodes, the Timpanogos Symphony audience is introduced to each section of the Orchestra orchestra with some fun, tongue-in-cheek dialogue that reveals some long-standing traditions (perhaps even folklore) about the personality and traits of the members of the different sections of the orchestra. I won’t reveal who is discovered to be the culprit—you’ll have to stay tuned to learn

The Timpanogos Symphony Orchestra is funded in part by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Foundation, the Utah Arts & Museums Council, and the Rocky Mountain Power Foundation.
