LineUp

Founded in 1940, the Utah Symphony is a major American orchestra based in Salt Lake City, known for international tours and award-winning recordings. Now 85 full-time musicians, it gives 175+ concerts per season; Thierry Fischer became music director in 2009.
Berkeley, California-born composer, conductor, and pianist/clarinetist/organist Teddy Abrams became conductor of the Louisville Orchestra in 2014, then the youngest head of a major U.S. symphony. His Decca albums include All In and The Order of Nature.
Appalachian Spring is a landmark American ballet created by choreographer Martha Graham and composer Aaron Copland, which premiered in 1944 and earned Copland the Pulitzer Prize for Music. Originally scored for a 13-piece chamber orchestra and later arranged into a celebrated orchestral suite, the work captures the American pioneer spirit and famously features variations on the Shaker hymn Simple Gifts.
