SALT LAKE CITY – UBS has announced they will continue their sponsorship of the Utah Symphony through the 2010-11 season. UBS has a strong tradition of supporting orchestral music around the world and has been a proud sponsor of the Utah Symphony since 2004. With their sustained support, UBS will help the Utah Symphony to continue to bring artistic excellence to the state of Utah.

“The Utah Symphony sets an unsurpassed standard of attention to detail, collaboration and excellence and UBS is proud to continue its season sponsorship of the Utah Symphony,” said Ray Dardano President and CEO, UBS Bank USA.

In addition, UBS strengthens relationships with local organizations while focusing on education and creativity through grants and volunteer initiatives. We view this partnership as a reflection of our commitment to communities where we live.”
