Alex Boy?, Best of state award recipient for "2009 Performing Artist of the Year", has been entertaining audiences worldwide for over 15 years. Born and raised in London, England, he has hits in over 15 countries, selling over half a million CDs He recorded two solo songs on the new Tabernacle Choir release, "Come Thou Fount" which has garnered rave reviews and reached #1 on the Billboard Classical Charts. Alex is DYNAMITE!! You need to see him live to believe it! Utah's Repertory Dance Theatre (RDT) was founded in 1966 as a fully professional modern dance company through a cooperative effort involving the Salt Lake City community, the University of Utah and a major grant from the Rockefeller Foundation. RDT is the oldest and most successful company of its kind, a living museum representing 100 years of dance history, preserving the largest and most significant collection of American dance in the world. Organized in 1924 to provide music for military ceremonies, the 23rd Army Band performed twice at the prestigious Worldwide Bandmasters Conference in Norfolk, VA., and was invited by the Mayor of St. Petersburg, Russia, and the U.S. State Department to perform a series of joint concerts with the Leningrad District Army Band during the summer of 1992. In 2004, the Band traveled to Germany to welcome home soldiers from the Middle East and to support the USAREUR (U.S. Army Europe) Band & Chorus, in addition to welcoming home troops here in Utah.
