"We were thrilled to be invited by Senator Margaret Dayton to open the 2015 Legislative Session and also feel privileged to receive such accolades from the State Legislature regarding our tour of Utah's Mighty 5® National Parks last summer," said Utah Symphony | Utah Opera President and CEO Melia Tourangeau. "The tour would not have been possible without the tremendous support of the Utah State Legislature. We thank Representative Stewart Barlow for championing our efforts last year for this support. We are fortunate to have our State Government behind us as an organization and are grateful for their value in what we do for the people of Utah."

Additionally, USUO will be presented with an Honorary Citation during the Utah Legislative session on Friday, Jan. 30, 2015, at 10:00 a.m. on the Senate Chambers Floor at Utah State Capitol.
