Dear Utah Youth Orchestras!!
Welcome to week five – great work over the first four weeks!
This weekend we have a great opportunity to have small sectionals, and you will be coached by really wonderful musicians!
The Utah Symphony is presenting the opera “Zorro,” and we have been given tickets!
The performances are this coming Saturday, the following Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday! RSVP one day in advance for the day you’d like to attend!
Go team
Love ,
Barb
