A Look Back at Utah Symphony’s 2009-10 Season and a Look Ahead to 2010-11
This season I was fortunate to be able to attend Utah Symphony performances in Salt Lake City and one of my favorites was Dvořák’s “New World” Symphony. I saw a number of guest conductors and artists present wonderful performances by Mozart, Dvořák, Rachmaninoff and Smetana, and I was particularly moved by Mahler’s 2nd Symphony in the Salt Lake Tabernacle led by Keith Lockhart. The 2009-10 season was remarkable, and the 2010-11 season promises even more!
The Utah Symphony, Wagner, Bruch, Elgar and a Brilliant Young Violinist Named Will Hagen…Oh My!
The highlight of the evening was 17-year old violinist Will Hagen. Any time an artist graces the stage at such a young age, there is surely something spectacular, and with his first performance with the symphony at age 9, he must have some great talent. I was really looking forward to hearing how good this kid was!
