about free Discovery concerts
The intent behind the Harriman-Jewell Series free Discovery concerts is to introduce excellence and artistry to new audiences by eliminating a cost barrier.

The events begin at 7 p.m. (earlier than other evening performances) to better accommodate the schedules of families with children. The public can receive up to four free tickets per household while quantities last.

Born in Urbana, Illinois,
13-year-old Conrad Tao began
playing children’s songs on the piano at about 18 months of age.

At age 8, he made his concerto debut with the Utah Chamber Music Festival Orchestra performing Mozart’s Piano Concerto in A Major. He is currently enrolled in Juilliard’s Pre-College Division and studies piano, violin, and composition.
