Show Page B10D Thursday, March 25, 1993 The Park Record Section B Utah's High Plateau featured in new book Youth concert highlights the three musical "B"s "...To ascend any of these massive tablelands from the semiarid valley is to enter a world strange, beautiful, and indispensable. It is a country of long views, a spacious . country, yet the horizon, however distant, is always clearly defined, the ridgelines providing a proper edge to the immensity of the sky." So begins Edward Geary's new collection of writings on the High Plateau country of central and southern Utah. A combination guidebook, travel narrative, personal essay, natural, social, and literary history, The Proper Edge of the Sky encompasses each of those forms with a sweep as broad as the landscape it describes. Geary writes with affection and a deep sense of place, of belonging to a distinctive landscape and its history. It is a book that will bring a rush of understanding to those who have lived in the High Plateaus, and a greater depth of appreciation to visitors. Edward A. Geary was born in Huntington, Utah, a small town in the heart of the High Plateau country, he is a professor of English at Brigham Young University and author of Goodbye to Poplarhaven (1985 Utah). The Utah Symphony invites everyone to a musical tribute to classical music's "B"s-Bach, Beethoven and Brahms-and maybe a little more.

The concerts will be Saturday, April 3, at 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. in Abravanel Hall. Featured on the concerts will be music by Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Berlioz, Bloch, Britten, Bizet and others.
