UW Symphony Orchestra to Present Concertmaster Fund Recital April 14

The University of Wyoming Symphony Orchestra (UWSO) and the Symphony Association will host the annual Concertmaster Fund Recital at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 14, in the Buchanan Center for the Performing Arts recital hall.

Tickets are $40 for the in-person event and $20 to view the concert online. To purchase tickets, visit the Performing Arts box office or the Wyoming Union information desk, call (307) 766-6666 or go online at www.uwyo.edu/finearts. For the online tickets, attendees will be given the access website to view the performance.

The concert originally was scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 3, but was postponed because of a date change of a UW Cowboys basketball game, which was at the same time. Tickets for the original performance will be honored on the new date. However, symphony patrons who would like a refund can contact the Performing Arts box office.

UWSO co-concertmasters Saúl Fuego Garcia and Brittany Kubiak will be accompanied by pianist Nathália Kato. The program includes music by Bach, Chen Yi, Debussy, de Falla, Li Huanzhi and Ponce/Heifetz. It ends with duets by Bartók.

The recital is a fundraising event for the Charles Moore, M.D., Concertmaster Fellowship, which supports the UWSO concertmaster position.

“It is a critical funding need for the orchestra, and we sincerely hope you will attend,” says Michael Griffith, UWSO music director.

In-person attendees will receive a special gift from the Symphony Association for supporting the organization.
