Superintendent Jeff Bradybaugh is inviting audiences to a fall concert by the Percussion Ensemble group from Southern Utah University on Friday, Nov. 16 at 6 p.m.

This free event will be held in the Visitor Center Auditorium and will feature 11 musicians lead by Director Lynn Vartan.

Park entrance fee station hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., so park visitors and local community members attending the concert will not be charged an entrance fee after 4:30 p.m. A show at Bryce Canyon by the Piano Guys inspired the Park to ask how more visual and performing arts could be brought to the park in an effort to provide different ways for people to connect to their park and draw inspiration from its beauty.

The concert on the 16 will be the first of many over the next few years.
