The Colby Sisters of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania by Adam Bock: UST Staged Reading

Nobody knows us. They think they do. But they don't.

Arts/Entertainment

Written after a period of debilitating writer’s block that not even Tolstoy could help solve, Rachmaninoff’s 2nd piano concerto was a full vindication of the composer’s early promise. Concert Highlights Include: Disappear into quiet contemplation with Rachmaninoff’s textless song, about which the composer asked the pondered “what need is there of words…” Scottish pianist Steven Osborne comes to Utah to perform Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2, a work the composer reportedly sought the services of a hypnotist to unlock. Bergen National Opera Artistic and General Director Eivind Gullberg Jensen makes his Utah Symphony on the work Tchaikovsky modestly called the “best and most sincere of all my creations.”
