Rock Gold Volume 2 Features Soloists with the Orchestra of Southern Utahby Sara Penny
It's time for the Volume 2 of "Rock Gold" with the Orchestra of Southern Utah. Soloists will recreate rock classics from ABBA, Coldplay, Metallica, and more. The concert is Thursday, Nov. 14, at 7:30 p.m. at the Heritage Theater in Cedar City. Tickets are assigned for this popular concert and are available at myosu.org. It is already close to sold out so don't delay getting tickets. Lobby music before the concert features the SideNote vocal quartet.
"The success of our first Rock Gold concert two seasons ago has had an impact on the choices of music and programming for Rock Gold Vol.2. I have excitedly planned and chosen music for all of you, our biggest OSU supporters! Hurry to get your tickets as they are almost sold out. I can’t wait to see you at the concert!," said Carylee Zwang, OSU Music Director and Conductor.
Let's "Get Lucky" with Justin Olsen, Alyssa Flasch, and Mia Ellingson adding vocals to the Daft Punk/Pharrell Williams song. "Dancing Queen" is a favorite ABBA song that features Mari Hobson, Dee Holt, and Teresa Redd.
For a change of pace OSU presents "9 to 5" by Dolly Parton with Kelsea Burton as the soloist. Another favorite is "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond with vocalist Silas Carson.
OSU musicians have had numerous requests for the "Devil Went Down to Georgia" by the Charlie Daniels Band. Andrew Briggs and Savannah Billeter will sing with Lindsay Szczesny on the fiddle part.
SUU Concert Choir with members of Opus and Luminosa will join the orchestra for "Living on a Prayer", "Dancing Queen", "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Sweet Caroline", and "November Rain". There will be 75 people singing in the choirs under the direction of Andrew Briggs.
"Enter Sandman" by Metallica marks the return of Lorah Bodie as soloist. Mark McGahan is also a returning soloist with "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen.
Husband and wife Ty and Teresa Redd will perform "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd. Raven Cain takes on "November Rain" by Guns N Roses.
"Sky Full of Stars" by ColdPlay is an orchestra only version.
Guest performers also include Stan Szczesny on guitar, Jordan Sanders on bass guitar, and Ian Shaw on drum kit. Concert choreography provided by Shellee Younkin and Torri Adams with guest dancers.

Because songs are shorter than a symphony, OSU will be able to pack a lot into a high energy concert. Tickets are $15 for adults with $10 for students over age six. Children over six welcome, but no babies please, as the concert is recorded. Get tickets at myosu.org.
