Longtime Utah Symphony violinist Jack Ashton is honored for his work in music education.

In his 48 years as a violinist in the Utah Symphony and 35 years teaching at Olympus High School, Jack Ashton has more experience in music than many of us have years in our lives. While Jack’s education work includes teaching the basics of notes & scales, the real reward comes from introducing students to the joy of creating music. According to Jack, you can’t find anything sweeter than that.
