A stellar performance of Scheherazade by the UTSO tonight! This orchestra played their hearts out and I consider it a triumph for myself as well as the orchestra. A culmination for the many seniors who will graduate and leave us for the next phase in their lives. I will certainly miss making music with these seniors who have served the orchestra so well! Congratulations to Qilong Wei, the soloists and the UTSO!

I believe this concert will be our most enjoyable and best concert since I first stepped onto the podium in the Fall of 2020. I couldn’t be more proud to lead this group of talented young musicians! Please join us at 7:00pm in UT’s Doermann Theatre. Admission is free.
