Vivace

Saturday night I photographed Vivace which was a concert that celebrated young musicians from Utah Valley who were the winners of the state competitions, performing on a variety of instruments. I really enjoyed these very talented young musicians. If you'd like to see more and purchase prints click here.

I hadn't ever seen a quartet on the piano and I enjoyed watching Allison Smilanich, Johnny Liao, Justin Taylor and Soo-Lin Ha play.

It was interesting watching them look at each other through the pianos coordinating amongst themselves the song.

Catherine Winters followed playing a very upbeat song on her flute.

Caroline Richards filled the theater with the beautiful sounds of her harp.
