The Arts in Southern Utah: Pianist Brandon Lee

One of the things that I appreciate about living in St. George is how much access we have to the arts despite being a small community. Friday night, we attended an incredible concert by the Southwest Symphony with guest performer, pianist Brandon Lee. The Cox auditorium was packed, and Lee’s performance of Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat minor was extraordinary. Even people who normally do not listen to classical music were astounded by the talent of this man.

Brandon has received honors across the country, and we are fortunate that he has chosen Dixie State University as the place to hang his hat. He serves on the faculty in the school of fine arts.

He is not limited to solely the classics. You can find him performing regularly with the Southern Utah Rebel Jazz Band and Mister Royal Jazz Combo. He has many other interests as well.

I don’t have a recording of his performance in the Cox, but I pulled up a couple of links to prior performances off of youtube. Take a look.
