Utah County SAU Celebration XI: Creating Harmonies, Inviting Unity

Dr. Suzuki’s first Grand Celebration concert on April 16, 1961 brought hundreds of children together to play music in celebration of life, of joy, peace and forgiveness. In Tokyo’s Bunkyo Hall 400 children ages 5-12 from Dr. Suzuki’s Institute of Talent Education played the Twinkle variations followed by concerti of Vivaldi and Bach. Suzuki Association of Utah has kept the tradition of Grand Celebration Concerts for 35 years. Significantly, many of these concerts fell during historically landmark years – including Dr. Suzuki’s 100th birthday, in 2001 shortly after the terrorist attacks in the US and in 2020 at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
