About this project

For their March concert, Utah Voices will put a new “spin” on Broadway show tunes with “Broadway Bingo,” featuring special guests and hosts Kelly DeHaan and Jennifer Hohl. Under the direction of Artistic Director Dr. Michael Huff and Associate Conductor Kelly DeHaan, Utah Voices will perform a rollercoaster of a repertoire that spans several decades. Except for the opening and closing numbers, the entertaining sequence will be determined by Bingo draw. The audience is welcome to play along with Broadway Bingo cards that come in the program. Prizes have been donated by various businesses. There’s something for everyone in this show that features numbers from such hit shows as Carousel, Ragtime, Hair, Les Misérables, Rent, Wicked and Hairspray and medleys that highlight music from Rodgers and Hammerstein, Leonard Bernstein, Marvin Hamlisch, and many more. DeHaan and Hohl will fill the bill with solo and duet performances from other beloved musicals and of course, more fun and laughter.

In order to secure the all-star band of local talent, Utah Voices seeks your help in securing such performers a collection of Utah’s finest freelance musicians from Ray Smith to Reed LeCheminant to Doug James and others. To achieve our goal, we must hire a total of 11 musicians for dress rehearsal and performance. “Broadway Bingo” will be Friday, March 11, 7:30 p.m. at Libby Gardner Hall at the University of Utah School of Music, (1375 E. President’s Circle) in Salt Lake City.

A contribution to Utah Voices supports individuals who give back, to you and your community, it gives you a place among supporters of Utah’s thriving music community, and it helps the chorus enrich the lives of others through the gift of music. Utah Voices is a non-profit organization and relies upon membership dues, ticket sales, contributions from the community, member fundraising and volunteers to cover the cost of each concert. 

“I am more aware than ever of how choral music plays a key role in helping communities weather all sorts of storms… [Choral music] builds community. It brings together people of different ages, races, and socioeconomic backgrounds, united in a love of great music. Have we ever needed this more than right now?” Knight Kiplinger, editor-in-chief of all Kiplinger financial publications, choir singer

Utah Voices

Has not connected their Facebook account.

Utah Voices was created by a handful of dedicated, hard-working people who truly love to sing. It is the culmination of the dreams and united vision of individuals who are passionate about making music. We desire to provide a unique and fulfilling musical opportunity to those who sing with us as well as those for whom we perform.

We will strive to ensure that Utah Voices has a lasting position in our community and in the wonderful world of choral singing. In the beautiful words of the talented composer Gerald Finzi, "...as surely as birds must sing, so long as words exist and man is capable of feeling, there will be song."
