Utah Symphony's Salute To Youth

Utah Symphony’s
51st Annual
Salute to Youth
Concert





Nine youth musicians will perform concerto movements with the Utah Symphony.

New Music Director Thierry Fischer will lead the Utah Symphony and some of the state’s most gifted young musicians in the 51st annual “Salute to Youth” concert at Abravanel Hall on Tuesday, September 28 at 7:00 p.m. This year two pianists, five violinists, one soprano and one mezzo soprano will join the orchestra to perform different concerto movements. To receive eligibility for “Salute to Youth,” these nine young musicians either had to qualify from preliminary auditions or from the Youth Guild recital auditions.

This will be Maestro Fischer’s first time conducting the annual “Salute to Youth” concert. “I’m looking forward to meeting and working with each of these talented young musicians. They are the musicians of tomorrow and it is privilege to help them cultivate their skills,” said Maestro Fischer.
