USU Symphony Orchestra

The Caine College of the Arts presents the Utah State University Symphony Orchestra's first concert of the 2024-25 season on Wednesday, Oct. 16, 2024, at 7:30 p.m. in the Daines Concert Hall.

The concert, titled "Home Is Where the Heart Is," will be conducted by the USU Symphony Orchestra's new conductor, Daniel Alfred Wachs. It will feature members of the Department of Music wind and brass faculty in an all-American program, including Samuel Barber's haunting "Knoxville: Summer of 1915," performed by guest artist and Metropolitan Opera star soprano Janai Brugger. Also featured will be Aaron Copland's iconic "Appalachian Spring" in its version for full orchestra.

"It is a thrill and an honor for me to be joining the Caine College of the Arts faculty," Wachs says. He comes to Logan from Vienna, Austria. "There is so much talent between my faculty colleagues and our incredible students that I was inspired to find a way to present both. This all-American program of 20th-century composers also allows me to honor educators, including two of my own, Otto-Werner Mueller and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Jennifer Higdon."
