"Joseph Smith the Prophet" by Rob Gardner

Ever since his student days at BYU, Mesa, AZ composer Rob Gardner has felt drawn toward the more classical and choral side of music.  Over the years, this love has resulted in several large works for choir, orchestra and readers.

In April, those in the Salt Lake area can see one of his most moving works, "Joseph Smith the Prophet," live in the Tabernacle with a 300-voice choir and orchestra. And if you're outside the area, you'll be able to see a performance soon on BYUTV.

That's this week on The Cricket and Seagull...
