Coming Together

utahfluteteacher

A week and a half ago the Utah Valley Symphony had our concert with Loren Allred which was so much fun. I love coming together with special artists. I was inspired not only by Loren’s amazing voice but also by her comments about not giving up on your dreams and how music has blessed her life. She shared how the song Never Enough from The Greatest Showman changed her life and the course of her career. You never know when one seemingly small thing will end up changing your life forever.

After the concert another orchestra member said to me, “I don’t know why that made me emotional.” I knew what she felt because at one point in the concert, I felt it too. For me, it is bringing that many people together for something that is uplifting. It fills the world with goodness and fills your soul with joy. It’s great to play a small role as a flute player in the symphony by creating that experience for such a large crowd.

Keep dreaming. Don’t give up. Keep coming together and find ways to lift those around you.

Concerts are Thursday and Friday of this week!! Click here for tickets.

Join the Utah Valley Symphony for an enchanting evening of musical brilliance at the 2024 Young Artists Concert. Experience the remarkable talents of local youth as winners of the Young Artists Concerto Competition take the stage. Be captivated by their exceptional performances, as each soloist showcases their unique concerto alongside the symphony conducted by Dr. Blanka Bednarz.

The symphony will also perform Borodin’s “Prince Igor: Polovtsian Dances” which has some beautiful lyrical melodies but mostly the flute parts are full of crazy fast notes. I’ve really had fun practicing and preparing for this concert. Most of this program is new music for me which has been refreshingly delightful.

Don’t miss this extraordinary showcase of youthful talent!
