Spring Concert gives variety of wholesome entertainment Yun Hui Pak Arts & Entertainment Editor That's entertainment! And more could be said about the Ogden. LDS Institute of Religion's Spring Concert this past weekend. The concert was a collaboration of drama, music and dance all centered around a humorous story line of a young couple in love and planning marriage. The young girl brings her husband-to-be to meet her grandmother and her overprotective grandfather. After a evening of interruptions by an amusing, overbearing salesman and shared experiences of the past, the grandfather finally approves of his granddaughters decision to marry. The dance segments performed by the folk dancers were highly skilled and enjoyable to watch. Their costumes were elaborate and audiences' hands clapped high with the raise of their skirts. The folk dancers performed a ethnic dance from the Pacific Asian islands that was incredible. They danced in coordination to moving sticks beating in rhythm on the floor. The folk dancers performed various types of dances and all were performed with enthusiasm and professionalism. The Institute Chorale sang in unison to a perfect pitch. There songs were heartfelt and provided a sacred setting for the show. One of the songs performed was the famous Disneyland, "It's A Small World" in which several returned missionaries who served in various countries such as Japan, Holland, Spain and others, sang the song in those specific languages. It was impressive to view the widespread growth of the LDS church. Overall, the Spring Concert was wholesome and entertaining with a message of love and happiness for everyone.

Guitarist Malmsteen rocks out The instant he arrived in America in 1983, every solo Swedish guitar prodigy Yngwie Malmsteen fired onto vinyl was greeted as an event. In 1983, his debut album, Rising Force, was nominated for a Grammy for best Rock Instrumental. In 1984, he was voted Best New Talent by the readers of Guitar Player magazine; they named him Best Rock Guitarist in 1985. Shortly thereafter Yngwie's Rising Force rose to Billboard's Top 60. In late 1986, Trilogy, on which Malmsteen honed his compositional as well as instrumental skills, was even more successful. After a near fatal accident, Malmsteen refocused his energies on recording, collaborating with singerwriter Joe Lynn Turner and producer Jeff Glixman (Kansas, Georgia Satellites). The result, Odyssey, is an album that might have come only from a man literally given new life. The energy-packed "Heaven Tonight," "Crystal Ball" and instrumental "Krakatoa" (which Malmsteen wrote at 16) will send guitar students racing back to class "Faster than the Speed of Light". Yngwie Malmsteen will be performing at the Salt Palace Exhibition Hall, Saturday May 21, 1988 at 7:00 p.m. with special guest, the princess of heavy metal Lita Ford and the unpredictable Black' n Blue.
