Multi-Grammy winner Ricky Skaggs will play with Utah Symphony SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record Since one of the elements of bluegrass music is improvisation, playing with a symphony orchestra does pose some challenges, said bluegrass and country pioneer Ricky Skaggs. “One of the key things we do is make sure the orchestra knows that bluegrass music is played a little more in front of the beat than it is on the beat,” Skaggs said. “If they know that and anticipate the beat, it will all work out.” Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder will perform with the Utah Symphony, conducted by Jim Gray, during the Deer Valley Music Festival at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, July 14, at the Snow Park Amphitheater. One of the ways Skaggs, a winner of multiple Grammy Awards, makes sure the orchestras he and his band performs with plays in front of the beat, is through music charts. “I think if the musicians play the charts we have written for them and if we can hear each other and know where our downbeats are rhythmically, we’ll be alright,” he said. “It’s like pulling, not pushing, an elephant.” Skaggs has made additional provisions on the charts for the Utah Ssymphony’s horn section. “They are located in the back of the stage, and that 20 feet can mean a half a second delay in what they hear from us,” he said. “So we have to take special care of them.” Skaggs remembers the first time he COURTESY CARSON PHOTOWORKS Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder will perform with the Utah Symphony during the Deer Valley Music Festival on Saturday at the Snow Park Amphitheater. heard his music backed by a symphony, “It was incredible and it almost made me cry, because I love classical music,” he said. “To hear orchestration with bluegrass and our country stuff is beautiful, wonderful and so, so exciting.” The multi-instrumentalist loves performing symphony shows. “We do one or two a year, and they are always great fun and looked forward to,” he said.

Those songs include “Somebody’s Praying,” “Highway 40 Blues,” “Uncle Pen” and “Crying My Heart Out for You,” which, in 1981, became his first No. 1 country hit on the Billboard U.S. Country chart. “I’ve also written some brand new charts for some unheard songs that the Utah Symphony will be the first to play,” Skaggs said.”We’re pretty excited about that.” The artist is also looking forward to showing off his band that includes Salt Please see Skaggs, C-4 COURTESY SKAGGS FAMILY RECORDS Ricky Skaggs has won 15 Grammy Awards throughout his career.
