Sharing The Light
The Best is Yet to Come!
President Russell M. Nelson gave a profoundly powerful message at the conclusion of the October 2024 General Conference:
"My dear brothers and sisters, in a coming day, Jesus Christ will return to the earth as the millennial Messiah. So today I call upon you to rededicate your lives to Jesus Christ I call upon you to help gather scattered Israel and to prepare the world for the Second Coming of the Lord. I call upon you to talk of Christ, testify of Christ have faith in Christ and rejoice in Christ!"
He also provided a positive message of hope and anticipation as he stated, The best is yet to come!
The School of Music consistently seeks to represent Jesus Christ in all we do. The solo and ensemble performances, research and compositional endeavors, and community outreach programs by our students and faculty are our ways of helping gather scattered Israel and preparing the world for the Second Coming of the Lord through striving to share the Light of Christ in all we do. While much good has been and is being done, we reaffirm that indeed the BEST IS YET TO COME!
We invite you to share the light found in the School of Music Journal with family and friends who you believe may be interested in what we do. We also invite you and others to join our recitals and concerts that are live-streamed on musicstream-ing.byu.edu. These streamed concerts and recitals are free and available to all!
Finally, we invite you to join us in talking, singing, and testifying of Christ in whatever ways work for you! Keep letting your light shine brightly for others to see and feel.
And above all else - Rejoice in Jesus Christ!
With joy and gratitude,
