Big Budah to Host
Utah Symphony Program of
Classical Music Favorites
Big Budah to Host Utah Symphony Program of Student-Selected Classical Music Favorites.
At the end of February, music students across the state voted on which classical masterworks they would like to see performed by the Utah Symphony.
FOX13 News personality Big Budah will announce the students' top 13 picks, and the Utah Symphony will perform these symphonic favorites under the baton of Associate Conductor David Cho on Tuesday, April 26 in Abravanel Hall at 7 p.m. Utah Symphony | Utah Opera is keeping voting results a secret, so audience members will be the first to find out at this family-friendly performance of some of the most well-known and loved orchestral works of all time.
Utah Symphony education staff, along with other symphony administrators and an orchestra member, began developing a list of repertoire to serve as voting options for the students last November.
“We consulted orchestra directors and high school music teachers, and came up with a long list of pieces we thought would be appealing to high school students,” said Beverly Hawkins, Utah Symphony Education Manager.
Once the list was narrowed down to a manageable number, Utah Symphony Youth Guild members and students in area youth orchestras were invited to submit their votes online.
Tickets for the evening’s performances range from $8 to $20 and can be purchased by calling (801) 355-ARTS (2787), in person at the Abravanel Hall ticket office (123 W. South Temple) or by visiting www.usuo.org. Students can purchase discounted tickets with a student ID. Season ticket holders and those desiring group discounts should call (801) 533-NOTE (6683). Ticket prices will increase $2 when purchased the day of the performance.
