New World Symphony - Featuring Time for Three
8.01.08 (Friday) | "New World" Symphony concert: 7:30pm @ Deer Valley Resort | after-party: 10-ish pm @ Red Rock, Park City
MUSIC OUTSIDE THE BOX
Time for Three (Tf3): This groundbreaking classically-trained trio will bring the house down at the 2008 Deer Valley® Music Festival, summer home of Utah Symphony | Utah Opera.
Sir Simon Rattle (conductor): "Simply put, they’re a knockout! Three benevolent monsters, monsters of ability and technique surely. But, also conveyers of an infectious joy that I find both touching and moving."
Vivace member Tonya Mortensen: "I'd totally do Tf3 all over again!"
Paul Newman: "To hear these three guys [Time for Three] is to be thankful that music was invented... If I had been able to create a sound like these kids a few years back, I might have thought twice about going into acting!"
Also on the program: the Utah Symphony performs Dvořák's "New World" Symphony (No. 9), most famous for its gorgeous and nostalgic second movement. Leave the suit and tie at home for this hot performance in a cool setting. Bring a picnic.
The after-party: Tf3 and Vivace partied all night long at the 2007 Deer Valley® Music Festival. Here's v2.0 of a luscious cocktail: carousing with Vivace members, Tf3, Music Director Keith Lockhart, and Utah Symphony musicians at Red Rock, Park City following the performance. Enjoy the delicious fare of Red Rock, Park City -- for free -- when you present your Vivace after-party ticket. Cash bar. Red Rock is located at Kimball Junction: 1640 West Redstone Center Dr., Suite 105. Kimball Junction is at the intersection of I-80 and US 224.

Looking for a fun way to start the holiday weekend? Check this out..
National Tap Star Bill Evans to Perform July 3
An Intimate Evening of Tap Dancing with Bill Evans
and guest Deborah Robertson
July 3, 2008 at 7:30 pm
Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center (138 W Broadway)
Tickets: $15 general admission, $10 with student ID (on sale later this week). Call 801-355-ARTS or visit www.arttix.org
RDT alumnus Bill Evans returns to
“Evans knows how to entertain, and he does it in such a distinct and personal way that by evening’s end every fan should feel almost like a friend….He is quite simply a master of his craft, and if anything he gets better with age. He does it all and it is this kind of versatility that allows him to go it alone for an evening with such success.”—Helen Forsberg, Salt
"His breadth of experience in ballet, modern and tap dance has molded Evans into a uniquely lyrical-percussive artist. And while fusion might be an easy buzzword to slap onto his merging of styles, he more accurately melds each discipline into the other so that only movement—with no titles attached—remains.”—Lucia Mauro,
