USU Welcomes Utah Symphony to Logan on Sept. 17

The world-renowned Utah Symphony will bring world-class artistry to Utah State University’s Logan campus Sept. 17 with a one-night-only performance featuring internationally acclaimed cellist Zlatomir Fung.

Tickets for the concert, hosted by the Caine School of the Arts in the College of Arts and Sciences, are free for USU students, faculty, and staff. Tickets for the general public are $20, with $10 tickets for patrons ages 8-18. The performance, which begins at 8 p.m., will be in the Daines Concert Hall of the Chase Fine Arts Center on campus. The age limit for the concert is 8 years and older.

“This is an extraordinary opportunity to experience an unforgettable evening of breathtaking live music,” said Nicholas Morrison, director of the Caine School and professor of music. “We hope our community will join us for this exciting and enriching event.”

Fung earned First Prize at the 2019 International Tchaikovsky Competition Cello Division, becoming the first U.S. musician, and the youngest artist ever, to receive the award. His recent career highlights include his Hollywood Bowl debut with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, opening the Utah Symphony’s 2026-2027 season, and performing with the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

An increasingly active composer as well as musician, Fung serves as a faculty member at his alma mater, The Juilliard School.

“Tickets are going quickly and we encourage our patrons to reserve their tickets right away,” Morrison said. “We are thrilled to offer this performance, which embodies the caliber of experiences we strive to provide for our students, to the local community.”

He adds the Caine School is grateful to the College of Arts and Sciences and the Tanner Trust for Utah Universities, which provided support for the concert as well as master classes for USU music students conducted by Fung and Utah Symphony musicians.
