Local Youth Musicians Perform With The Utah Symphony, 5/21
Accomplished high school musicians get the chance to perform side-by-side with members of the Utah Symphony in the annual All-Star Evening performance.
All-Star Evening, led by Associate Conductor Vladimir Kulenovic, includes a performance of the famous fourth movement, Adagietto, from Mahler's Symphony No. 5 and George Philipp Telemann's Concerto for Viola in G major with young soloist Spencer Hunt on May 21, 2013 at 7 p.m. in Abravanel Hall. Other classical masterworks include Debussy's "Danses sacrée et profane" with youth soloist, Molly Langr performing on the harp. The concert rounds out with recognizable opera preludes by Richard Wagner including his infamous love prelude from the opera, "Tristan und Isolde".
In addition to performing in Abravanel Hall with a professional orchestra, the 61 students will have the unique opportunity of having a mentoring session with a musician from the Utah Symphony and other musicians in their sections. Students will receive personalized and valuable instruction from a professional who plays their same instrument. In preparation for the concert, the students also have three rehearsals with the conductor and one rehearsal as a whole with the Utah Symphony orchestra.
Students were selected from area youth orchestras and come from 37 high schools.
