Salt Lake City, Utah - July 20 – On July 26, 2011 at 7:30 pm, the Salt Lake Vocal Artists, a 44-voice ensemble of the Salt Lake Choral Artists, will present their “Bon Voyage” concert at Libby Gardner Concert Hall on the University of Utah campus under the direction of Dr. Brady Allred.

This concert is in preparation for the group’s tour to Argentina where they will participate as one of 25 selected ensembles to participate in the World Symposium on Choral Music in Puerto Madryn, Argentina. Allred and the Vocal Artists will perform several concerts at the symposium and also be featured at the symposium’s grand finale.

One of the symposium’s workshops, on concert programming, will be lead by Allred.
