LYCEUM MUSIC FESTIVAL
JULY 23 - AUG. 4, 2012

The Lyceum Music Festival provides musicians ages 13 to 21 a sneak-peek into the professional world of orchestral music. Industry leading Guest Artists and Utah Symphony Musicians mentor, perform with, and inspire music students in a way that awakens each student to his or her own potential. Sometimes all it takes to inspire a budding young music student is that positive role model who has "made it" and who believes the student can too!

WEEK ONE: JULY 23-28, features internationally acclaimed violin duo Igor and Vesna Gruppman. Repertory includes Elgar's Enigma Variations, Vaughan Williams' Lark Ascending, and Malcolm Arnold's Concerto for Two Violins along with other favorites of fine English music. The 1994 recording of the Gruppmans performing the Arnold Concerto earned a GRAMMY® Award. Igor is the former Concertmaster of the London Sympony Orchestra, current Concertmaster of the Rotterdam Philharmonic, and Principal Conductor of the Orchestra at Temple Square.

WEEK TWO: JULY 30-AUG. 4, features award-winning, YouTube sensation Steven Sharp Nelson. Repertory includes Beethoven's 5 Secrets from The Piano Guys' wildly successful YouTube video, as well as Beethoven's entire Fifth Symphony, Mendelssohn's War March of the Priests, Bartok's Transylvanian Dances, and favorites from Steven's albums. The Piano Guys may even feature students in a new composition performed live at LMF 2012!

Students enjoy daily opportunities for supervised recreation, including movie night, bonfire/skit night, a pizza & swimming party, tickets to a Deer Valley Music Festival concert, as well as private performances and Q & A time with our sought-after guest artists. Getting the inside track to a career in music has never been SO MUCH FUN!
