Our studio went on an outing yesterday. We sat in on a Utah Symphony rehearsal with world-class conductor, Delyana Lazarova. My violin students were particularly impressed with her conducting skills. They were also mesmerized by the violin section's use of the ricochet bowing in the Rimsky-Korsakov Scheherazade in addition to the beautiful violin solos. I loved the U.S. Premiere of Dobrinka Tabakova's Orpheus Comet!
We then enjoyed and were inspired by a tour/seminar with Peter Prier and Sons Violin Making School of America and Shop. It was fantastic to learn more about how the science and craftsmanship in creating a string instrument was developed through the centuries.
Yesterday's trip to SLC was one of those surreal moments I'll never forget! Thanks to all those who make the Utah Symphony experience possible and to the team at Priers!
