On Friday, March 11, the Utah Premiere Brass, conducted by Dr. Kirt Saville, will perform a concert of inspirational and majestic music entitled "Stained Glass And Stone" as a tribute to the Provo Tabernacle.

When the Utah Premiere Brass began over a decade ago, UPB had the privilege of performing several times a year in the Provo Tabernacle. UPB's famous Essentially British I through VI series were all played at the beautiful tabernacle; as well as six years of holiday concerts and other programs entitled Encore, Concerto for Trumpet, Classical Treasures and Guilty Pleasures, and much more.

The fiery destruction of the Tabernacle on December 17, 2010 was devastating to UPB, as the bulk of their musical history was born there. "Everyone in our community has felt the tremendous sense of loss represented by the tragic fire and destruction of the Provo Tabernacle," said Dr. Kirt Saville. "How many wonderful music programs and performances have poured forth upon our community through the beauty and sanctity of this wonderful edifice."

The Utah Premiere Brass dedicates this concert, "Stained Stone and Glass, Provo Tabernacle, In Memoriam" to the innumerable musical and artistic events which were enhanced and embraced by this sacred edifice. Read more here

The Covey Center is thrilled to present the art work of nationally acclaimed artist J. Kirk Richards.

Richards said the sculptures and figure paintings “are about the dichotomy that exists in all of us between our spiritual and physical nature.”

Richards' work is mostly found in private collections across the country. Select local public collections include the LDS Church's Museum of History and Art, in Salt Lake; the Springville Art Museum; and the Orem Library.

Richard's exhibit is being presented in conjunction with the Lyric Opera ensemble performance of Madame Butterfly.
