Concert poster of Donald Martino for the Maurice Abravanel Distinguished Visiting Composer Series

The Maurice Abravanel Distinguished Visiting Composer Series was founded in 1993 at the University of Utah as a tribute to the influential conductor and an alternative to the university's recently expired composer-in-residence program. Conceived and coordinated by Morris Rosenzweig, Professor Emeritus in music composition, and partly underwritten by the Joseph and Evelyn Rosenblatt Charitable Trust, the series has brought many notable composers to the University of Utah and the greater Salt Lake City community to oversee performances of their works and give lectures and lessons to students. This poster advertises Donald Martino's visit and the concert of his works on April 13, 1994 in the Daniels Gallery of the Utah Museum of Fine Arts at the University of Utah. The poster notes an appearance by Joseph Silverstein, music director of the Utah Symphony from 1983 to 1998.
