'Short Ride
SUU Wind Symphony
and Cedar City
Community Band
take stage Apr. 6 in a
Fast Machine'
by Ashley H. Palmer
SUU College of Performing & Visual Arts
Continuing to bring music to
SUU and Cedar City, the SUU Wind
Symphony will team up with the Cedar
City Community Band (CCCB) for
their final performance of the school
year in a concert titled, Short Ride in
a Fast Machine. The performance will
be available through live streaming at
www.suu.edu/pva/music/webcasts.html,
on April 6, 2021 at 7:30 p.m.
Dr. Adam Lambert, Director of
Bands at SUU, shares, “One of the main
goals of the Wind Symphony at SUU is
to perform music that challenges the
students but also brings awareness
of great musical classics to both the
students and audience. The Wind
Symphony will perform several exam-
ples of these, including Short Ride in a
Fast Machine by John Adams, 5 Variants
of Dives and Lazarus by Vaughan
Williams, and Angels in the Architecture
by Frank Ticheli (a wind band classic).”
The SUU Wind Symphony is an
auditioned ensemble comprised of the
top wind and percussion students at
SUU. The ensemble is committed to
the performance of the highest quality
contemporary and traditional works in
the wind band repertoire. Innovative
concerts, adventurous programming,
and high-level music-making are the
hallmarks of this select ensemble.
Steve Shirts, Director of the CCCB,
shares, “The Cedar City Community
Band has been a blast the last two
semesters. Our community has some
amazing musicians and it is an honor
to be handed the reins from Dr. Adam
Lambert who started this version of the
CCCB three years ago.”
The Cedar City Community Band is
a non-auditioned concert band. Its aim
is to provide opportunities for those
wishing to practice and develop their
instrumental performance skills by
rehearsing and performing fun, exciting,
and challenging music. All high school-
aged and older individuals with prior
concert band performance experience
are welcome. They will play music by
composers John Williams, Frank Simon,
Ron Nelson, William Himes, and Michael
Giacchino.

SUMA launches 'Art In Action' fundraiser for student scholarships
from Bailee Jones
Southern Utah Museum of Art
Southern Utah Museum of Art (SUMA), at Southern
Utah University (SUU), is pleased to present its first-
ever fundraiser for student scholarships, Art in Action,
a collaborative exhibition featuring 86 works of art
available to purchase which were generously donated
by students, faculty, and staff of SUU, open Monday,
March 22 through Friday, April 9, 2021.
The entirety of Art in Action’s proceeds will
benefit student scholarships for SUU’s Art & Design
Department. Works on display as part of Art in Action
are available for purchase online and at the SUMA by
museum visitors at a flat price each of $20 plus tax.
“It was incredibly uplifting to see such a great
turnout of donated artwork for this initiative,”
stated Whitney Staheli, SUMA manager of finance
and administration, who helped organize the
fundraiser. “It was wonderful to work with the local
artists who donated one-on-one workshops at their
studios for student donors.”
Generously donated workshops from Arlene
Braithwaite, Mary Jabens, Debbie Robb, Carrie
Trenholm, and Mona Woolsey will be randomly
awarded to five student donors. Other contributions
on behalf of this fundraiser included kits from SUU’s
Art & Design department for their student donors,
and a generous monetary donation from Artisans
Art Gallery in Cedar City.
Demand for the work is high, so SUMA invites all
people to visit Art in Action and make purchases before
it’s too late! Visitors will see red dots which indicate a
work has already been sold. Each red dot visitors see
means that Art & Design student scholarship funds
have increased by $20. To allow all art to remain on
display for three-weeks, purchased art will not be
taken down or available for pick up until April 12th.
Interested buyers can find more information about Art
in Action on SUMA’s website at suu.edu/suma.
Along with Art in Action, Monday, March
22nd marks the opening of the 2021 Senior B.F.A.
Capstone Exhibition which will be on display
through May 1st. The exhibition showcases the
culmination of each graduating art student’s time in
