Due to the power outage Monday, the Jon Schmidt concert was canceled. It has since been rescheduled for Monday, February 4 at 7:30 p.m. in Ragan Theater. Tickets for the originally scheduled event will be honored.
Back by popular demand following a sold-out benefit concert in September, Jon Schmidt is returning for another performance at UVSC. UVSC’s Envision Winter Guard Club presents “An Evening with Jon Schmidt” Monday, February 4 at 7:30 p.m. in Ragan Theater.
“We are so excited to have Jon back for UVSC Envision Winter Guard,” says Nancy Cannon, advisor and instructor for Envision. “He is amazing and the Envision team members and students are huge fans of his.”
It appears that they are not the only ones. More than 200 patrons had to be turned away from the original performance in September, which prompted this concert to be organized. Schmidt’s dynamic performance style and original music are widely popular, as evidenced by the success of his seven albums, seven volumes of piano scores and highly rated television special
Funds from the concert will be used to assist Envision in their traveling costs as they compete in the Winter Guard International World Championships in Dayton, Ohio in April.
Tickets can be purchased at UVSC’s Campus Connection located in the Sorenson Student Center or by calling (801)863-8797. General admission for the public is $12. UVSC students, faculty and staff can purchase tickets for $10.
