Two inspiring events await our audiences to ring in the holiday season. The SLS is collaborating with the University of Utah Lyric Opera Ensemble to present Menotti’s beloved Christmas opera: Amahl and the Night Visitors. This will be presented as a double-bill with Utah composer Michael Leavitt’s new setting of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. With four performances (December 5 – 7) this performance allows flexibility for your busy schedule with room to remember the spirit of the season.

The orchestra will also present Christmas favorites on December 14th in ‘Let There Be Peace”, and this program will feature beloved and new works to remind us of the special messages of the season. We are thrilled to be joined by the Utah Voices for our annual celebration of holiday music.
