On behalf of the board, musicians, and staff of Utah Symphony | Utah Opera, it is our pleasure to welcome you to Utah Valley University’s beautiful Noorda Center for the Performing Arts and tonight’s Utah Symphony concert. We are thrilled to return to the Noorda in partnership with UVU, with special thanks to President Dr. Astrid Tuminez and her colleagues at the School of Arts.

The Utah Symphony has become increasingly recognized as one of the nation’s top orchestras, offering artistic and educational experiences at the highest level. Music connects us through shared experience. It entertains us. It lifts our spirits. It provides solace from our daily concerns. Beyond that, it helps build skills in our youth as they aspire to achieve their potential. Our Utah Valley home allows USUO to bring performances by our state’s exceptional orchestra to you, the residents of Utah’s fastest growing county.

It is our honor and responsibility to steward this outstanding organization so that it can make a difference in the lives of our citizens. Our vision is to continue creating ever-greater performance experiences both for our existing listeners and for new audiences with a passion for music. We can only accomplish this in partnership with you, who recognize how the performing arts contribute to our quality of life.

Thank you for your attendance at tonight’s concert. Whether you are joining us for the three incomparable classical music concerts featuring world-class artists, for our Holiday Pops concert starring Morgan James, or for our animated family concert Philharmonia Fantastique: The Making of an Orchestra, we guarantee you will leave enriched and wanting to return for another shared experience of great live music! Sincerely,

Steve Brosvik
