Play with the Pros!

Sometimes all it takes to inspire a young person is finding that role model who has “made it” and is willing to help another discover their own path to success. Lyceum Music Festival connects young musicians with inspiring industry professionals in a way that awakens them to their own potential. By surrounding students with the level of artistry achieved by professional performers, we help budding musicians gain insight into both the art form and the career of music-making. 

Our guest

Kirby Heyborne!

An Emmy and Grammy-nominated actor, narrator, musician and comedian, Kirby Heyborne is best known for his unique way of serving with a smile. As the comedic host of the service-oriented BYUtv show Making Good, Kirby isn’t afraid to roll up his sleeves and work, and he never misses an opportunity to lift those in need with his music and humor. Kirby received a Grammy nomination for his narration of Charlotte’s Web and has twice received the highest honor in narration bestowed by the American Library Association—the Odyssey Award. As an actor, he is widely known for his work in The Sons of Provo, The Singles Ward, The Best Two Years, Faith of Angels, and the Farrelly Brothers’ The Three Stooges, opposite Sean Hayes and Sofia Vergara. Whether leading a trip through the Holy Land, hosting RootsTech, or filling his favorite role as father and husband, Kirby does it with his whole heart… and usually a guitar in hand!

Character Focus

The Lyceum Youth Orchestras and Music Festival is sponsored by an independent faith-centered private school. All students are required to abide by a healthy honor code at the Festival that prohibits smoking, alcohol, drugs and public displays of affection. LMF requires modest dress, clean language, and strives to create an environment that is family-friendly and allows students to openly practice their religious beliefs but does not encourage proselytizing.
