SYNOPSIS:
Violinist Geneva Lewis, a native of New Zealand, makes her Utah Symphony debut performing Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 5. The concerto gets its “Turkish” nickname from the third movement, where Mozart creates a percussive sound by having the cellos and basses strike the strings with the wood of their bows.

Stephanie Childress makes her Utah Symphony debut leading Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 1, written when the prodigy composer was just 15 years old! (Despite it being labeled No. 1, Mendelssohn had written no fewer than 13 symphonies before turning 16.) The evening begins with the rousing and inspirational Concerto Grosso by Vaughan Williams, a beautiful work shining a bright spotlight on the symphony’s strings.
