University of Utah student wins chamber-music award
In a first-ever partnership, Utah Chamber Artists and the Salty Cricket Composers Collective announced that the winner of their commission competition is Stephen Voorhees.
The call was for two short works for string quartet. After reviewing dozens of submissions, Stephen Voorhees’ two works were both chosen as the winners.
Stephen is a graduate student in orchestral conducting at the University of Utah, a Utah native and graduate of Murray High, and frequently conducts Salty Cricket performances as well as submitting his own works to their programs.
The winning two pieces will be premiered at the Utah Chamber Artists’ annual Cathedral Collage concerts called, "Voicing Wonder...Chant & Contemplation" on September 19 & 20.
The concerts will begin at 8 p.m. and will be held at the Cathedral of the Madeleine. Admission is free to the public and no tickets are required. The two commissions are scored for string quartet and based on medieval chant.
