Thierry & the Utah Symphony’s trip to Haiti featured on Good4Utah
Thierry’s trip to Haiti alongside musicians of the Utah Symphony featured on Salt Lake City TV station Good4Utah on 4 April:
“The Utah Symphony just returned from Haiti where they worked with more than 100 Haitian youth musicians. The kids were overjoyed with the opportunity to play with some of the best. Seventeen Utah Symphony musicians paid their way to Haiti to form the first Haitian National Orchestral Institute. The musicians conducted one-on-one lessons, sectionals and rehearsals with the youth musicians. The music education service project was organized by BLUME Haiti. The organization’s mission is to “build a strong group of young leaders who will create a brighter future for Haiti.”
