Join us for the debut concert of Lillian Breeze Manning, a 15-year-old vocal phenomenon whose extraordinary talent is captivating audiences across Utah and beyond. One of the rare young artists in the world fully cross-trained in classical, pop, and musical theatre styles, Lillian showcases all three genres in a breathtaking performance that redefines what it means to be a young classical crossover artist today.

Since the age of 8, Lillian has trained under Tony Award-winning, Grammy-nominated soprano Lisa Hopkins Seegmiller, developing a voice that is both technically brilliant and emotionally powerful across every style she sings.

Backed by the Southwest Symphony and under the musical direction of Kurt Bestor, this unforgettable evening will feature guest appearances by acclaimed tenor Dallyn Bayles, Utah’s favorite singing basketball star Thurl Bailey, and celebrated cellist Nicole Pinnell.

Bestor has arranged a stunning mix of music for Lillian—from classical crossover and Broadway favorites to country and pop—including two world-premiere arrangements:

🎵 A Tribute to Ennio Morricone

🎵 Now We Are Free (Theme from Gladiator)

“I never cease being amazed by Lillian’s voice. Like Charlotte Church, her classical tone is angelic, yet she can turn around and sing a pop hit like Rise Up with incredible emotion and maturity beyond her years. People attending this concert will always remember that they were there when Lillian Breeze made her headlining debut.”
