Brian

Brian just finished his run of “The King and I” at the SCERA outdoor theater in Orem. It ran for most of June and he enjoyed the cast members and performing in a new venue for him. He was cast as the Interpreter for the Kralahome and had lines at the beginning and end of the show.

   

He was also a monk, a guard, and one of the 4 young men who did all the scene changes. This allowed us, his family, to see him lots! He was on and off the stage over and over moving the really cool set pieces and we would grin and point at our son. Isn’t it great being a proud parent?

   

Brian has played in a string quartet several times for wedding receptions and company parties.  He has decided to provide piano music for wedding receptions and other events.  Brian is an excellent pianist and musician, so this is a great fit for him.  He has started a small business, called Wasatch Melody, in order to solicit business. 

In addition to booking events for himself to perform at, he also plans on booking events for others as well.  He knows a number of musicians who can provide harp music, piano music, and string music for all types of special events. 

If you know anyone that needs beautiful piano or string music at their wedding reception or company event, please contact Brian.  Of course he can’t travel very far from our home in Utah!  But he is happy to perform here!

Here are some pictures of Brian attending this year’s Lone Peak High School Prom.  He was on Student Council this year and they planned the prom which was at the Utah State Capitol.  Since he was partly in charge, Sue and I had the opportunity to chaperone. 

 

Lone Peak High School just closed its production of the musical "Bye Bye Birdie".  Brian was in the ensemble as a teen and and adult and had lines as the mayor who gives the key to the city to the rock star, Conrad Birdie.  He and his "wife" had some very funny stage business involving her fainting and him dragging her off-stage several times.  They were very funny.  This is the third show he has been in that involved him wearing aging makeup and gray in his hair.

       

Brian had his picture in the paper today.  He is playing the part of Polonius in the Shakespeare play "Hamlet".  We saw it last night, and everyone did a great job.  If you are local, you would probably enjoy it.  Brian is very funny in his part and also did a great job.  It is at Lone Peak High School at 7:00 and runs through Jan 29, except Saturday and Sunday.
