Musician and songwriter Peter Breinholt will come to UVSC’s Ragan Theater February 22 at 7:30 p.m. to perform at this year’s Ragan Theater Showcase. The performance will be an acoustic, stripped-to-the-bone concert that he is calling “more personal” than some of his other popular concerts have been. Breinholt will be awarded the Ragan Theater Showcase Merit Award at the end of his performance, which will be followed by a reception for all those in attendance.
The Ragan Theater Showcase Merit Award acknowledges the accomplishments of college, community and high school achievement in the arts. Breinholt, who has been performing to thousands of audiences since he came onto the music scene in 1993, has certainly had a lot of accomplishments to celebrate. In addition to performing concerts and recording several successful albums, Breinholt has also written and recorded many songs for feature films, including six songs for the upcoming film, “Everybody Wants To Be Italian,” starring Penny Marshall. Breinholt's songs have also been heard in several movie trailers and television programs.
“Peter has been very successful, and is well-known in many Utah communities,” said Joel Herd, assistant director of UVSC’s Sorensen Student Center. “This is just a way for us to acknowledge him and recognize him for that.”
Tickets for the concert are $8 and can be purchased at Campus Connection in the Student Center, by calling (801) 863-8797 or online at www.peterbreinholt.com.
