    The Utah State University Music Department launches a new, summer evening concert series, Midsummer Night's Magic, at the Performance Hall on campus. 'I understand from my colleagues that there haven't been many opportunities for our summer audience to hear concerts in the Performance Hall, and I think it is particularly fitting that, while many of our students are away from campus working to save money for college, the department is also making an effort to increase scholarship support,' said Music Department Head Craig Jessop. 'I am thrilled to be able to offer this new summer concert series.' The first concert is June 25 and features AirFare, a flute-clarinet duo of faculty flutist Leslie Timmons and clarinetist Nicholas Morrison. Colleagues Cindy Dewey, soprano, and Lynn Jemison-Keisker, piano/harpsichord, join the duo for the performance. Subsequent Midsummer Night's Magic concerts feature the Logan Canyon Winds performing with members of the Caine Percussion Ensemble (July 2), the Lightwood Duo (July 9), Opera Gala (July 16), piano students of Gary Amano (July 23), the Fry Street Quartet (July 30) and the Michael and Corey Christiansen Guitar Duo (Aug. 6).
