The Senate resolved into committee of the whole to welcome Keith Lockhart, incoming conductor of the Utah Symphony; Lockhart thanked the legislature for the reception and said he looked forward to serving the orchestra and the state.
The Utah State Senate paused floor business Feb. 6 to welcome Keith Lockhart, the newly appointed conductor of the Utah Symphony.
In remarks delivered to the chamber, Lockhart thanked the Legislature and said he was "really a thrill for me to be coming to the Utah Symphony," noting the ensemble's strong reputation and his desire to make it "a cultural resource for the entire state of Utah." Senators and other legislators praised Lockhart's appointment and expressed confidence in his ability to continue the orchestra's artistic legacy. The session then returned to regular business.
