Orchestra of Southern Utah announces fairytale-themed Children’s Jubilee
By Tanisa Crosby
Neverland has never been so close to home as the Orchestra of Southern Utah prepares for a Children’s Jubilee in the land of fairytales. As Peter Pan says to just take “the second star on the right and straight on ‘til morning,” OSU will put on a magical journey into the hearts and souls with fairytales Feb. 9 at 1 p.m. at the Heritage Center Theater in Cedar City.
The annual Children’s Jubilee concert is designed for children and their families. This year’s theme is fairytales. From classics such as “Hansel and Gretel” and “Swan Lake” to more modern tales such as “Peter Pan” and “The Lord of the Rings,” the orchestra is excited for an afternoon of fun, adventures, and magical music that will have everyone’s favorite stories come to life before their eyes.
Starting at 1 p.m., the Heritage Center lobby will be transformed into a whimsical storybook scene. During this time, there will be hands-on science, art, and animals for children to explore with their parents. Doors to the concert hall open at 2 p.m. where the orchestra will play whimsical pieces. The orchestra will also be joined by a children’s choir that will navigate the audience to Neverland and tell the story of Peter Pan. Following the concert, there will be more activities both upstairs and downstairs for families to participate in from 3 to 4 p.m.
Tickets are $5 for adults and children or free with an exchange of three cans of food. Babies are welcome for this concert and have free admittance. For more information, contact OSU Manager Rebekah Hughes at (435) 592-6051 or email beckyosucedarcity@gmail.com.
