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!

Winter Recital 2024

We had our Studio Winter Recital over the weekend. Even though the weather was 50 degrees, which is considered warm for Utah in January, it was still called our Winter Recital. Each flute student prepared a piece to perform. This was the first time some of them have performed in a recital hall setting on a stage like this.

I was really proud of how well each of my flute students prepared for this recital. A variety of styles were represented with pieces ranging from classical composers by J. S. Bach, G. P. Telemann, W. A. Mozart and C. W. Gluck to 19th century composer Wilhelm Popp and other pieces by modern composers William Billingsley, Chirstopher Nolan, James Rae, and Paul Harris.

Having studio recitals is an incentive to really polish a piece of music and provides an opportunity to share with your family and friends (and fellow flute players) the progress you’ve been making.

I truly believe that if you are going to take the time to develop a talent, you should take the time to share that talent with others. Bravo to everyone last Saturday!
