The Score | Utah Rock Stars

Performance attire for musicians is a perennial topic of discussion at orchestras. Several Utah Symphony musicians got radically new fashion looks for a photo shoot that briefly transformed them into iconic rock stars as part of a recent marketing campaign at the orchestra. Concertmaster Madeline Adkins was David Bowie; percussion/timpanist Eric Hopkins was Bob Dylan; and Principal Tuba Gary Ofenloch, Associate Principal Bassoon Leon Chodos, Principal Trombone Mark Davidson, and Second Horn Llewellyn Humphreys were the band KISS. As the orchestra proclaimed, “In the symphony world, our musicians are basically rock stars.”
