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.

The first quartet was exciting and I was as impressed with the second, which members were all under ten years old. Annie Lee, Jessie Zou, Jung-won Ha and Liam Wilder played Workin' on the Railroad.
