2. Onstage Ogden presents Tonality: America Will Be
Peery’s Egyptian Theater, Ogden, April 8, 7:30 p.m.
The event website says: “What does justice sound like? Meet Tonality, the GRAMMY®-winning choir that blends beautiful voices with real issues of social justice. Led by founder and artistic director Alexander Lloyd Blake, this LA-based ensemble turns powerful, genre-defying choral music into a catalyst for empathy and community activism. Praised by Kelly Clarkson as “one of the most unique and powerful choirs in America,” Tonality leans into fearless themes–from mental health to climate change, racial justice to refugee rights. Each concert is a living, breathing call to action.”

Get ready for the spring planting season by heading to the USU Botanical Center. The website says: “A practical three-part workshop series focused on planning a functional, water-wise space. This series will guide you through planning and redesigning a space in your yard with functionality and water savings in mind. Each session builds on the last, giving you time to think through ideas, apply what you’ve learned, and come back ready for the next step.”
