Posted on

For some students it is the experience of a lifetime and something they will never forget. About 4,800 Jordan School District 4th graders were treated to a concert by the Utah Symphony Orchestra, performing at Mountain Ridge High School. The 87 full-time musicians love to reach out to young students and show them how a love for music, hard work, and dedication to achieving goals can lead to great things. The Utah Symphony Orchestra is considered one of the top professional orchestras in the United States.

Thanks to the Utah Symphony for the beautiful music and inspiring young students to reach for the stars.
