Organ Festival

 Some of our students enjoyed attending an Organ Festival at the Kent Concert Hall on Utah State University's Campus recently. Stephen Cleobury played a selection of Organ Music which was at times accompanied by the Utah State University Chorale and Chamber singers. The students enjoyed the variety of music as some pieces were fast and spirited while others were slow and contemplative. The students also remarked on the intricacy of the organ tubes, the different moving pieces and complexity of the instrument.

We have had a fun filled semester and the students are enjoying their exploration of culture and art!

Craft in America

 Our Adventure Art and Culture class went off campus this semester to view a film screening at the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art that complimented the exhibition exploring craft and art. The film was called Craft in America and showed the working processes and lifestyles of different craft artists in America. The film explored everything from basket weaving and glassblowing to ceramics and jewelry making. The students enjoyed seeing and learning about the different processes and products that each method produced. It also didn't hurt that there was a snack table at the screening.

Adventure Art and Culture

One of the classes we offer at Logan River Academy is an Adventure Art and Culture course which gives students the opportunity to explore a variety of cultural and adventurous activities that help broaden their understanding of different types of art and expression. The students attend local cultural and art exhibits and spend time in nature on hikes and in different plein air (on location painting or drawing) art activities.


One of the events the students attended this semester was a one woman show that explored different depictions of influential women in black history. The performance by actress Janice Brooks was engaging and entertaining. The students enjoyed singing some of the historical songs as Janice led the audience in song and appreciated her transformation of costumes and personality between her depictions of the different women.
