Debuting the Christmas concert season in Utah County is a tradition for Kurt Bestor, who will perform “A Kurt Bestor Christmas: A Celebration of Life,” in the McKay Events Center Monday, November 26, at 7 p.m. This will be Bestor’s third annual holiday performance at UVSC.
Perhaps best known for his innovative interpretation of seasonal carols, Bestor received an Emmy for his collaboration with Sam Cardon on the original music for ABC’s coverage of the 1988 Winter Olympics. Bestor’s 19-year-old daughter Erika, also from Orem, will be joining him on stage as she sings with the UVSC choir and for a special number with her dad.
A great family event, “A Kurt Bestor Christmas: A Celebration of Life” is presented by UVSC and is sponsored by the Central Utah Cancer Center, KSL radio, KDYL radio and the Daily Herald. The concert, dedicated to cancer survivors, will include Bestor’s original arrangements of Christmas favorites and an original piece composed for cancer survivors in the audience. Proceeds from the concert will go to support scholarships at UVSC.
Tickets are on sale now at the McKay Events Center Ticket Office, (801) 863-SHOW, 1 (888) 844-7469 (outside Utah County) or at any SmithTix location. Tickets can also be purchased online at www.mckayeventcenter.com.
