Utah State University Welcomes the 'Classically Charged' Utah Symphony

The Utah Symphony travels to Utah State University for one performance in its “Classically Charged” season Saturday, March 23. Performance time is 8 p.m.

“We are honored to host the Utah Symphony in the Manon Caine Russell Kathryn Caine Wanlass Performance Hall,” said Craig Jessop, dean of the Caine College of the Arts at USU. “This is a wonderful opportunity for students and community members alike to enjoy the classic sound of some of Utah’s greatest musicians.”

The Utah Symphony will perform the works of Handel, Gabriel Fauré, Claude Debussy and Felix Mendelssohn, among others.

The performance features Vladimir Kulenovic, the associate conductor for the Utah Symphony. In 2011, Kulenovic served as the principal conductor of the Kyoto Music Festival. He received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at the Boston Conservatory, and his graduate degrees at the Peabody Institute of the John Hopkins University and The Juilliard School.

In addition to performing more than 70 concerts in Salt Lake City’s Abravanel Hall annually, the Utah Symphony travels throughout the Intermountain West and performs in Utah, Wyoming, Nevada and Idaho communities. The orchestra also participates in the Utah Opera’s four productions at the Capitol Theatre in Salt Lake City.

Tickets for the Utah Symphony’s Classically Charged performance are $15 general admission, $13 seniors, $10 USU faculty and staff and $5 for USU students with ID.
