How do you convince Sting to perform a benefit concert for the 100th anniversary of Zion’s designation as a national park? Send him a video.
It worked for the nonprofit Zion National Park Forever Project, which will receive unspecified proceeds from Sting’s Aug. 31 appearance at Usana Amphitheater with the Utah Symphony. Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. at Smith’s Tix locations, www.smithstix.com, or by phone at 800-888-TIXX.
After seeing the montage of stunning images of the southern Utah park, accompanied by information about what the nonprofit Project does, Sting “specifically wanted to do this concert and this project to benefit the park, which is really awesome,” said Thomas Love, president of Love Communications.
