ABOUT THIS EVENT

Bruce Adolphe ‘Tyrannosaurus Sue: A Cretaceous Concerto’

With the generous sponsorship of the EQT Foundation, in partnership with WVU's College of Creative Arts, Summit Chamber Music Series is thrilled to present ‘Tyrannosaurus Sue: A Cretaceous Concerto’!

Our musicians will take you on a musical journey, way back in time to before flat screen TVs, before smartphones, before zip-lock bags, or even zippers, before books and umbrellas, even before there were any humans at all! We will travel back to the Cretaceous period, when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Tyrannosaurus Sue: A Cretaceous Concerto tells the story in music of a real T.rex who lived 60 million years ago, and whose bones were discovered in South Dakota just 34 years ago. Written and composed by Bruce Adolphe, who will narrate the story on stage with a fantastic group of musicians, the trombone will personify and star as Tyrannosaurus Sue!

This Family Concert is FREE, but advanced ticket registration is required. You can reserve your tickets through WVU for this event. Click "Buy Tickets" and you will be directed to WVU's website.
