Tatjana Mead Chamis concert

On Thursday, June 18, violist Tatjana Mead Chamis will perform a concert for the Boguslavsky String Scholarship Fund in Libby Gardner Hall on the University of Utah campus. Tatjana is currently principal violist with the Pittsburgh Symphony. She also performed as a Salute to Youth soloist with the Utah Symphony in 1989 and 1992. In her recollections of those performances she has written “All of this time, the Salute to Youth events have been a proud part of my artistic biography. I feel fortunate to have had this very unique opportunity, as I know that this is a once in a lifetime, and often life changing event in the life of a musician, as it certainly was for me.”  Her teacher at the time, Mikhail Boguslavsky, was a member of the Utah Symphony.

Ms. Mead Chamis will be joined by members of the University of Utah music faculty and New York-based jazz pianist David Budway. The program looks great and this will be an excellent chance to hear a Salt Lake native who calls her first performance with the Utah Symphony her “debut.”

The concert will be at 7:30 pm.  Tickets are just $15 for adults, $5 for students.
