The Utah Symphony welcomes cellist Alban Gerhardt next weekend in a program that will feature Prokofiev's Sinfonia Concertante, op. 125. Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake Suite" will also be on the program.
Performances will be Friday and Saturday, 8 p.m., in Abravanel Hall, 123 S. West Temple. Tickets are $12-$48 (355-2787 or 888-451-2787 or www.arttix.org).
Though still relatively young, Gerhardt has appeared with more than 150 orchestras worldwide, including the London Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony and St. Petersburg Philharmonic. His particular passion is making classical music accessible to younger audiences.
