Salt Lake Symphony: Utah Talent Spotlight

When: Sat., April 25, 7:30 p.m. 2015
Price: $10 for adults, $5 for students and seniors
The Salt Lake Symphony will perform a concert on Saturday, April 25th at 7:30 pm at Libby Gardner Concert Hall on President’s Circle on the University of Utah campus. The orchestra is pleased to welcome guest conductor Barbara Scowcroft, conductor of the Utah Youth Symphony and violinist with the Utah Symphony. Barbara is a favorite local personality, known for her insightful interpretations and gift of communication for musicians and audiences alike. Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for students and seniors. Tickets are available at the door or by calling 801-531-7501.

The orchestra will open the concert with a performance of Utah composer John Costa’s “Vignette,” a work originally commissioned by Barbara Scowcroft and the Utah Youth Symphony to celebrate the Salt Lake Winter Olympics in 2002. Also featured will be Shenae Anderson, the winner of the Utah Division of the Stradivarius International Violin Competition. She will join the orchestra to perform Beethoven’s Violin Concerto. Long considered one of the quintessential concertos by any composer, this work sparkles with energy and clarity. The evening ends in sunny Italy with Mendelssohn’s ebullient Symphony No. 4 (Italian). Here the local talent of the Salt Lake Symphony musicians will shine as bright as the Italian sun in summer!

Barbara Scowcroft will lead a pre-concert discussion at 6:15 in Room 270, behind the concert hall. The discussion is free and will focus on cultural, historical and musical perspectives about the music on the evening’s program.
