"Perfect evening and lots of lovely new art to bring back to Chapel Hill!", wrote Mary Ussery-White

We are so appreciative of the support you the community and patrons have for your orchestra. The musical entertainment brought a delightful ambience, the new venue gave comfortable room to see items and visit with people, and the lovely refreshments were thanks to Lisa Cox and her team.  This essential OSU fundraiser is directed by Suzanne Tegland and Ariel Wolter Rhoades, both OSU musicians.

Mingle with Musicians at the

Annual Silver and Gold Soirée

By Tanisa Crosby


The Orchestra of Southern Utah is hosting the 4th annual "Silver and Gold Soirée: Silent Auction and Raffle" on Friday, May 11.  The Soiree is a delightful opportunity for the community to socialize and get to know members of the Orchestra of Southern Utah.  You are invited to join musicians and patrons at The Barn at Cedar Meadows from 5 to 7 p.m. Purchase tickets in advance from Rebekah Hughes at 435-233-8213 or email beckyosucedarcity@gmail.com. 

Tickets are $10 per person, well worth the price for an evening of hors d’oeuvres, live music, great company, and of course both wine and non-alcoholic beverages. Dressing up is encouraged and a little splash of silver or gold never hurts.

Music will be provided by some of the very same OSU musicians who have been apart of our magical season. Live music performances this year will include the local gypsy/jazz band Wilhem, lead by OSU’s concertmaster and the energetic musicianship of the Cedar City Jazz Dectet.

The silent auction features generous donations from local business and artists. Offerings include fine art photography, watercolors, event tickets, and much more. All proceeds go towards funding the upcoming orchestra season. The Orchestra of Southern Utah continues to increase the offerings of live music in Cedar City, but tickets alone cover less than 10% of annual costs.   Additional funding is therefore essential to assist the Orchestra in providing affordable musical experiences. Your support is much appreciated and essential in keeping the music accessible for our community.  Please come enjoy the swankiest party in town, a great excuse to wear your favorite cocktail dress while supporting a fine arts institution.

The Silver and Gold Soiree will take place at The Barn located at Cedar Meadows, 1419 W 3000 N, Cedar City (Corner of Bulldog Rd. and 3000 N).  The event will be from 5 – 7 p.m. on Friday, May 11th.Tickets are $10 and must be purchased in advance and are available by phone: 435-233-8213.

Date: May 11, 2018 Silver and Gold Soiree at 5pm
