Discover who killed the conductor at orchestra concert October 18, 2016, 10:53 am"Last year we had a tremendous response to our first Halloween concert," said John Pew, the founder and conductor of the Timpanogos Symphony Orchestra. Not only will there be fun, spooky music, there will also be a costume parade during one of the songs where children and adults can walk across the stage and show off their costumes while the orchestra members continue to play in their costumes. Immediately following the concert, the orchestra will have different trick-or-treating stations for the children. The orchestra will provide the bags. In this year's concert, the main piece of the night will be "The Composer is Dead," which is a tongue-and-cheek musical mystery. Throughout this piece, audience members will be trying to figure out who killed the composer. The narrator will be John Bytheway, a popular LDS youth speaker. "This piece introduces audience members to different sections of the orchestra," Pew said. "While trying to figure out who killed the composer, different instrumental sections will be spotlighted." The text for "The Composer is Dead" is written by Lemony Snicket, a famous children's author who wrote the popular "A Series of Unfortunate Events" books. "Not only will this be a fun Halloween activity but parents get to introduce their children to a little culture with some great symphonic music," Pew said. "The Composer is Dead" will be performed Friday, Oct. 28, at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Oct. 29, at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. at Willowcreek Middle School in Lehi. Ticket prices are $10 per person, $8 for seniors and students or $30 for a family of five (and $6 per ticket for an additional family member). Tickets can be bought online at www.thetso.org or at the door. It is suggested to pre-purchase tickets because this concert was sold out last year.
