Here is the latest press release from the Utah Symphony: news about performances on Nov. 6, Nov. 7 and Nov. 5 (the latter at BYU).

Pinchas Zukerman is a legend, based on all of the Google Images there are of him!

Noted guest conductor and world famous violinist, Pinchas Zukerman leads young American pianist Jonathan Biss and the Utah Symphony in Brahms’ Concerto No. 1 for Piano in D Minor on a program that also includes Brahms’ Symphony No. 4 in E Minor.
