Southern Utah University, Cedar City, Utah: It’s ensemble season at Southern Utah
University during the month of November promising a variety of musical concert opportunities.
The SUU Woodwind and Brass Ensembles perform Monday, November 13, 2017, followed by
the SUU Strings and Piano Ensembles on Wednesday, November 15, 2017. Both performances
will be in the SUU Music Building’s Thorley Recital Hall at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free and open

Monday, November 13, 2017, the Woodwind Ensemble will perform a variety of classical
Broadway numbers such as The Sound of Music, and Danza Mexicana, No.2. This showcases
the outstanding ability, variation, and talent of SUU musicians. Performers include Mallory
Barlow, Madison Coburn, Demi Delaney, Shianne Ogzewalla, Camrie Greenhalgh, Angela
Hanks, Becca Kelly, Samantha Rew, McKenna Terry, and Dr. Thomas Herb.
The night will continue with the SUU Brass Ensemble which will perform an eclectic program of
early renaissance music, such as classics by Giovanni Gabrieli and modern works by Eric
Ewazen. The group is made up of some of SUU’s finest brass musicians, Robby Debry, Laura
Bird, Aria Williams, Brayden England, and Brennan Hansen.
Camrie Greenhalgh, freshman clarinet player and music education major said, “It’s not just
another concert full of classical works that only music nerds know about. It’s a performance full
of different ensembles and a variety of instruments. It will be a fun performance full of popular
movie, theatre, and holiday songs.” 
Ensemble performances continue on Wednesday, November 15, 2017, as the Strings and
Piano Ensemble musicians: Haim Saban, Shuki Levy, Kennedi Ludvigson, Clara Whittaker,
Heather Celis, James Jolley, Anthony Malachowski, Michael Blake, and Kennedy Worthington
perform a mixture of lively and even quirky numbers such as Jubilation! Get-Up- and-Go, and
Inspector Gadget.
Kennedy Worthington, a freshman music education major performing in the ensemble for the
first time, said, “This production has taught me about collaboration and that I have to rely on
other people, I don’t have to handle everything on my own.”
Come enjoy timeless classics, fun-loving favorites, and a memorable night with SUU Music
Ensembles. For more information on Southern Utah University’s Department of Music, please
