The show will begin at 7:30 pm and is free for University of Utah Students with their UID. General admission tickets are $12.50. The Campus Orchestra is not limited to music majors, and it features musicians from all over the university.
“The one thing that binds us together is a love of music,” said Robert Baldwin, director of orchestral activities. “The fall concert will be a homage to how composers are inspired by works from the past.”
“This concert will feature composers whose music continues to inspire all who listen,” added Anna Oldroyd, U College of Fine Arts communication specialist.
“Reformation Symphony” by Felix Mendelssohn will be the featured piece, written to honor the Presentation of the Augsburg Confession on its 300th anniversary.
