Bring Family and Friends for a Western Adventure at Saturday Jubilee, Feb. 15

The Orchestra of Southern Utah Gallops into a Western Themed Children’s Jubilee

By Tanisa Crosby

Make sure to grab your cowboy hats and boots for a fun activity-filled Saturday afternoon. The Orchestra of Southern Utah (OSU) performs a concert for the Children’s Jubilee which will take place on Saturday, February 15th, at 1 pm. The Wild West event will take place at the
Heritage Center, located behind Lins.

Once a year, OSU puts on a very special concert that is unique and open for all ages. The concert is designed for families, with a special focus on children getting hands-on experience with music along with art, science, and other historical and cultural activities. This year’s theme is the Wild West and cowboys and cowgirls of all ages are invited to attend. Dressing up is encouraged.

The Children’s Jubilee will open at 1 pm with hands-on activities throughout the lobby.
From a fun western-themed photo booth to booths designed for hands-on learning. There will
be instruments for children to try and animals to see, along with gold mining, and a variety of
other fun activities designed for families to enjoy.

At 2 pm, the concert hall doors will open for a short concert put on by OSU. Adam
Lambert will direct this concert and will conduct Aaron Copland’s Rodeo and Cowboy Overture
by John Williams. These pieces really capture the Western essence of music, with wide
intervals, brassy tones, and some great “Hoe-Down” sections that will have audiences tapping
their feet and clapping along with the music. The event doesn’t end after the concert, as booths
and activities will continue after the concert until 4 p.m.

The Orchestra of Southern Utah invites families and those still young at heart to come
journey into the Wild West at the Children’s Jubilee on Saturday, February 15th starting at 1 pm. This
concert will take place at the Heritage Center Theatre, located on 105 N 100 E, Cedar City, UT,

Tickets are $5 for adults and children; families can also get a free ticket if they
bring in 3 cans of food to donate. Babies are welcome to this concert and have free admittance.
