Scott Hagen

Since leaving Park Rapids, I now live and am a Professor of Music and
Director of Bands at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah. I have
been very fortunate to be involved in some great events including the 2002
Winter Olympics where I was the Conductor of the official Olympic Band that
performed at the Opening and Closing Ceremonies. I have been able to guest
conduct, and hold clinics around the United States and Europe. I've worked
with fabulous musicians from the Chicago Symphony, LA Philharmonic, San
Francisco Symphony and Utah Symphony when they travel to solo as guest
artists with the University Wind Ensemble or the professional ensemble, the
Utah Wind Symphony. Prior to being the Director of Bands, I was in charge
of the Marching Band at the University of Utah, which lead me to the Las
Vegas Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Sugar Bowl, 1998 Final Four Basketball Tournament
and Presidential Inauguration in 2008. In 2004, oddly enough I moved back to
Minnesota for 1 year to assume the position of Director of the Concordia
College Band. I have a son Benjamin, who lives in St. Paul, Minnesota - he
followed in the cobbler tradition and attended Concordia College in
Moorhead, Minnesota. In July of 2013 I got married to Myroslava, and we live
in our new house with three dogs, Buddy, Havalah and Troika. When I am not
working and traveling, I enjoy skiing in the mountains, camping, fly fishing
and golfing at the Country Club.
