Music Performance Updates
We look forward to this year in the new state-of-the-art BYU Music Building. We appreciate the hard work, cooperation and patience from everyone involved in the effort to construct and relocate to a new building.
The finishing touches and technical calibration of the Concert and Recital Hall will require additional time before its public debut, however other spaces are complete and performances are taking place.

Alumni Highlight: Richard Williams
When asked what he has learned from his years of studying music, Williams responded, “I have learned that God answers your prayers when you are on the move. I think similarly with music, you have to be moving, you have to be creating, you have to be showing the world that you are good, because there is so much talent out there, and there is so much noise. It is important to stand out.”
