The appearance of the great artist is unquestionably one of the highlights of the musical season in Utah. j The Utah orchestra this year is more than ever made up of Utah players. Of the 86 musicians musi-cians only eight are from out of Utah. The others are home musicians, most of whom got their training, or part of their training locally. Conductor Abravanel hopes in the near future to make the Utah orchestra orches-tra more and more all-Utah. Symphony fans from all over the state are attending the regular reg-ular concerts at the Tabernacle. Many out-of-Salt Lake music fans have purchased season tickets together and take turns using the tickets, according to David S. Romney, managing director of the symphony. |
