The music of Cache Valley's own Jay Richards will be featured in this exciting concert.  Well-known in the Utah music and theater community, Richards’ artistic reach extends far beyond the mountains of northern Utah.  He has composed for studio, film, television, radio, musical theater, dance, and the concert stage, as well as for countless commercial album releases.  His orchestral works and two of his musicals, “Jane Eyre” and “Little Women,” have been performed internationally.  Richards also teaches Music Composition at BYU-Idaho.

“An Evening with Jay Richards” will feature a varied repertoire of his works, including sacred music arrangements, popular tunes from his musicals, and new compositions, including the premiere of two songs from his new musical version of “Pride and Prejudice.”  Also on the program is an orchestral work that Richards wrote last year while studying at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

Another highlight of the evening will be the opportunity to hear award-winning tenor George Dyer.  Likened to Josh Groban and Andrea Bocelli, Dyer has performed extensively and to wide acclaim in opera houses and concert halls across North America and internationally, and has been featured as a guest soloist with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
