Connecting Neighbors: Miho Everitt
Miho Everitt attended the Yamaha Music School in Osaka, Japan where she began to study music at the age of four. At the age of nine, she became a student of Virtuoso Jorg Demus. At nine years old, she also won the All Japan Piano Competition. Since then she has won numerous competitions in Japan, including the All Japan soloist contest.
After receiving her bachelor’s degree in music from the Soai University in Osaka, she moved to the United States. She enrolled in the master’s piano performance program at the University of Utah. She wasn’t able to finish her master’s once she started a family. But she continues to be a master without the degree!
Miho’s story holds “more to the story” when she tells about her decision to take a DNA test which uncovered a deep family secret. The test has given her some great insight about people and the prejudices they hold. Many may be surprised to find that those they hold prejudicial opinions about may be some of their relatives!
Miho continues to teach piano lessons and can be reached at 435-764-2960. Her email is [email protected]. You can also view her profile at mihoeveritt.weebly.com.
Quartet for the End of Time Performances
As we commemorate the events that led to CCC’s creation twenty years ago this month, we are excited to partner with professors from USU’s Caine College of the Arts in their performances of Olivier Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time. This quartet was written and premiered 80 years ago in January 1941 in a prisoner of war camp, and it is a powerful work that speaks eloquently about the experience of transcendent hope in the midst of incredible loss and injustice that seems to parallel the trials that many are going through currently.
Violinist Rebecca McFaul, cellist Heather Smith, clarinetist Nicholas Morrison, and pianist Cahill Smith will perform the work twice, free of charge. Masking is encouraged for audience members.
Connecting Neighbors: Farrell Edwards
Ninety years old means different things to different people. For Farrell Edwards it means there’s a lot of work yet to be done. When he was about 83 years old, Farrell was going to retire from the Physics Department at USU, but he had his own conditions. He wanted to retire and keep his office and have his own lab for his research. And he got it!
Every day he goes to his lab and continues to work with his team on research for the possibility of containing ionized gas. The goal is to use the ionized gas for thermonuclear fusion. This theory has been patented. His hope is that his mind will stay sharp as he continues toward having this theory become a way of life for us and future generations.
Farrell and his wife Ann have raised ten children. When asked what their secret to staying happily married for so long, Farrell says, “You have to find the right one!” He shares how he did that in his video interview. Ann chimes in, “I almost missed out with another close second.” I’m guessing if she would have missed out, they both would have missed out! These two have walked through life hand-in-hand for 66 years and counting.
