Young Artists Advance Their Careers --
Kaden Elwood
Kaden recently graduated from Davis High school as a Sterling Scholar in instrumental performance. He will be continuing his organ study at the University of Utah with Dr. Kenneth Udy.
Kaden states that he likes playing the organ “because it makes a wide variety of different tones and timbres.”
He chose to study at the University of Utah because of the professors who have worked with him one-on-one for many years.
Dillan Haddock
Dillan will be studying organ in the fall with Dr. Kenneth Uday. Dillan is a graduate of Jordan High School and a former student of Scott Rowley.
Dillan loves to play the organ “because it can do so many things. From the tiniest flute to the biggest tuba, all the stops have purpose, and it feels amazing to be the orchestrator behind it, making it all happen.”
He chose the University of Utah because he felt it provided him with so many opportunities and connections that other universities could not provide. He believes the U will help him “thrive at this stage of [his] life and propel [him] into the next one.”
Connor Larsen
Connor was accepted into the organ DMA program at the University of Florida.
This fall he will fill an interim adjunct faculty role at BYU in the organ department. Then in January, he will travel to Florida to enter the doctoral program in organ.
Connor states he is “super excited to keep doing what he loves” and furthering his education.
