Experience an Unforgettable
Musical Performance
Coming this Thanksgiving Season
Zion’s Youth Symphony and Chorus presents Old Time Religion. This concert explores the stories and songs that shape us and celebrates being a part of a community of people of faith.
From creative director Lauren Hancock and musical director David Skouson, the show features 235 young musicians from across the Las Vegas Valley, as well as the exceptional talents of Broadway performer Ezekiel Andrew.
Join us for an evening of uplifting and inspiring music from sacred hymns to movie hits reminding us that whether it’s the Red Sea or the Mojave Desert, we’re never alone in the wilderness.
