RDT's Student Matinees

Student Matinees

RDT invites Utah students and teachers to attend FREE matinee performances of our regular season concerts performed at the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center. Schools are provided with Study Guides prior to each performance. Invitations are sent to schools state wide at the beginning of the academic year. To insure you and your school are on the list, or to inquire about availability any time of the year, contact lynne@rdtutah.org.

Support for RDT matinee services comes from the Marriner S Eccles Foundation.
