Sponsored by the Deseret News, Salute to Youth is an annual tradition that dates back to the days of Maestro Maurice Abravanel. These seven soloists were chosen from 38 finalists.
Salute to Youth is one of two annual concerts in which the Utah Symphony celebrates young musicians with the orchestra. At the end of each season the All-Star Evening features a soloist (this year a pair of soloists playing a concerto for violin and piano) performing with the Utah Symphony, as well as students from area youth symphonies performing side by side with the Utah Symphony musicians.
