Concert

We end of 2021-2022 season with beginnings. Beethoven’s first symphony signaled the end of the classical period, while Prokofiev’s opening to his oeuvre, composed 120 years later, looked back in the very ideals Beethoven was using. Beethoven’s First Symphony is a delightful work in the style of his teacher, Franz Joseph Haydn. We will demonstrate from the stage how Beethoven used and departed from tradition. Similarly, Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev tried to espouse the classical ideal while writing in his unmistakable 20th-century style for his first symphony, also known as the Classical Symphony. It’s the perfect pairing of innovation and formal perfection. Hilary Coon, our principal oboist, also will also be featured, playing Alessandro Marcello’s moving Concerto in C-Minor.

The Dream of America
2022-04-09 19:30 | UT
The Dream of America can be defined many ways, as something realized, or something yet to be achieved. We look at several expressions of the history and hope of our country in our April concert. The program will open with Robert Wendel’s newly composed Fanfare for the Frontline Workers. Certainly we have seen few American heroes as worthy as the men and women who helped in various ways throughout the pandemic. The difficult history of slavery will be explored with Florence Price’s Ethiopia’s Shadow in America. The work deals with not only the tragedy, but also the hope for a better future. A rediscovered talent, Florence Price was one of the leading African-American composers of the 20th century. The program centers on a work by composer Peter Boyer, Ellis Island: The Dream of America. A powerful work, featured on PBS’s Great Performances, the music is accentuated with readings of letters from immigrants soon after they landed at Ellis Island. We are happy to welcome the students to perform alongside the symphony for this special evening of music, history, and hope.

Eye on Utah Talent
2022-03-19 19:30 | UT
We keep our eyes and ears on Utah talent, for our March program. Schubert’s beloved Overture to Die Zauberharfe will open the concert. Also known as the Overture to Rosamunde, the work delights audiences and players alike with its memorable melodies and perfectly balanced writing. The program will also present a world-premiere by Utah composer Andrew Maxfield for soprano and orchestra. Featuring guest artist Michelle Pedersen, Snowdrifts uses evocative poetry from several renown poets, including one you may not recognize as a published writer, our music director, Robert Baldwin. The program will conclude with the Symphony No. 1 in C major by Ludwig van Beethoven. This work will highlight our string and woodwind sections with wonderfully energetic motives and memorable writing, a trademark of the symphonic writing from one of the world’s greatest composers.

New Horizons
2019-11-09 19:30 | UT
From the gauchos of Argentina to some of the most sweeping symphonic notes every composed, we’re travelling to the New World for our November concert. Now considered a standard of the orchestral repertoire, Argentinian composer Alberto Ginastera’s energetic Estancia was one of the first to introduce the rhythms and melodies from South America to a wider audience.
Joining the orchestra will be some of Salt Lake’s finest high school student musicians for a side-by-side performance of John Williams’ delightfully swaggering overture to motion picture, The Cowboys.
The evening will be capped off with what many consider to be the finest ever symphony by an American composer, the Symphony No. 3 by Aaron Copland. Though non-programmatic, the work nonetheless reminds the listeners of the broad vistas and powerful stories of the American narrative and of the distinctive benign, noble self-confidence that has historically defined the American spirit. It is no surprise that the aptly named Fanfare for the Common Man, which forms the motivic backbone of the entire symphony, still resonates so strongly within us. It’s an immersive experience that simply must be experienced in person!

Fantastique!
2019-09-28 19:30 | UT
Beware the idée fixe! Berlioz broke the mold and changed history with his monumental score to Symphonie Fantastique. More than merely a big work with massive forces, it’s a deeply personal vision of both love and obsession that touches from every corner of the mind, with a final stop in an imagined Hell of the artist’s own devices. Berlioz’s inventive compositional style and thrilling music set the standard for most of the programmatic music that followed in the 19th century, especially where a touch of the supernatural was involved. We open the program with one of those very pieces he influenced, César Franck’s rarely performed Le Chasseur maudit (The Accursed Huntsman). It’s a thrilling, and slightly chilling, way to open our 44th season that we know you will love to death!

Mahler in May
2019-05-16 19:30 | UT
Mere mention of the name Gustav Mahler evokes images of struggle and triumph. His music is the pinnacle of orchestral writing and achievement. The Salt Lake Symphony and Utah Voices will share one of the monuments of the repertoire on Thursday, May 16 as we perform Mahler’s Symphony No. 2, also known as the Resurrection Symphony. It is a powerful exploration of life, death, spirituality and eternity. Mahler’s score attempts to answers life’s biggest questions with one of the largest group of musicians ever assembled for a symphony—over 120 players, two soloists, and a chorus of over 200. In addition to our frequent collaborators, the Utah Voices, we will also be joined by renowned vocalists Melissa Heath, soprano, and Kirstin Chávez, mezzo-soprano, to perform this memorable masterpiece. Rarely does an audience remain unmoved and unchanged by this powerful work. Join us for the season-ender for the ages!

Nature is in focus on the SLS March concert with music by Ludwig van Beethoven, Benjamin Britten and Peter Boyer. Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6, the Pastorale Symphony may be known to audiences from its use in Walt Disney’s classic Fantasia. Beethoven’s homage to personal feelings he experienced while being in the countryside pervade this work, one of the finest examples of Classical-era programmatic writing. In contrast, Benjamin Britten’s Four Sea Interludes from the opera Peter Grimes, provides a stark contrast, as the orchestra paints pictures of different aspects of the sea that can be interpreted differently by each listener. Peter Boyer’s bright Festivities will open the concert with bright colors and musical sunshine, a feature for our brass and percussion sections.
