Join guest conductor Gordon Johnson (Great Falls Symphony) as he leads the Salt Lake Symphony through Beethoven’s glorious Symphony No. 7. Once called the apotheosis if the dance\, the work sparkles with thrilling motives that build to an amazing climax in each movement.

DESCRIPTION:Few pieces have the primal energy as Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring. This year marks a first for the Salt Lake Symphony\, our initial performance of this monumental work. Originally intended for ballet when composed in 1913\, the piece has become a staple in the concert hall as the quintessential work of the early 20th century. With its driving rhythms and eerie sounds\, it’s a piece that creates a lasting memory for performers and audiences alike. It’s not the only legacy we will celebrate at this concert\, though. We will open the concert with our annual side-by-side performance\, featuring talented young musicians sitting alongside our musicians. After their rousing opening of Dvo?ák’s Slavonic Dances\, we will perform the Utah premiere of Jett Hitt’s Yellowstone Concerto\, with Dr. Hasse Borup playing the solo violin part.

It’s a celebration in need of a fanfare\, so we’ve added Miklos Rozsa’s rousing Entr’acte March from “El Cid” to open the festivities. Recent Salt Lake resident and conductor of the Utah Opera Chorus\, pianist Caleb Harris will join us for Sergei Rachmaninov’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. Easily Rachmaninov’s most inventive work\, it also contains one of the top melodies ever written\, so popular that it has been used in several films. The centerpiece of the concert will be Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 6 (Pathetique). This symphony\, sadly the composer’s last work\, is nevertheless Tchaikovsky’s finest example of symphonic writing. Full of every element of life\, the slow last movement is possibly a precursor of Tchaikovsky’s death which occurred only days after the premiere performance. The poignancy and power of the work make it a universal favorite with audiences ad players alike. \nConductorsRobert Baldwin \n\nRózsa\, Miklós Entr’act March from “El Cid”\nRachmaninoff Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini (Op. 43)\nTchaikovsky Symphony #6 “Pathetique” (in B Minor\, Op. 74) URL:https://saltlakesymphony.org/event/russian-masterworks/ CATEGORIES:Concerts END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20151017T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20151017T153000 DTSTAMP:20260418T031811 CREATED:20221003T173250Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221003T173250Z UID:1998-1445095800-1445095800@saltlakesymphony.org SUMMARY:Parliament of World Religions DESCRIPTION:ConductorsRobert Baldwin \n\nGrieg Peer Gynt Suite #1 (Op. 46)\nBimstein\, Phillip The Brahma Viharas\, A Meditation for English Horn and Orchestra World Premiere Solo: Charlotte Bell\, English Horn\nStrauss\, Richard Death and Transfiguration (Tod und Verklärung\, Op. 24)\n\n\nBimstein\, Phillip The Brahma Viharas\, Concerto for English Horn and Orchestra Solo: Charlotte Bell\, English Horn URL:https://saltlakesymphony.org/event/parliament-of-world-religions/ CATEGORIES:Concerts END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20150926T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20150926T193000 DTSTAMP:20260418T031811 CREATED:20221003T173250Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221003T173250Z UID:1997-1443295800-1443295800@saltlakesymphony.org SUMMARY:Life\, Death\, and Beyond DESCRIPTION:Earthly realities\, heavenly music. No better way to kick off four decades of music making in Salt Lake City! The 40th Season opens with one of the most beloved works by Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg\, the Peer Gynt Suite No. 1. Compiled from incidental music for the Ibsen play of the same title\, Grieg’s compilation contains four movements that have long been audience favorites\, including the deeply moving Åse’s Death and the slightly scary In the Hall of a Mountain King. We will follow this familiar music with something no one has heard before—a world premiere! Phillip Bimstein’s The Brahma Viharas was written especially for Charlotte Bell\, our SLS English horn player. It is a work celebrating and describing the four Buddhist virtues of Loving Kindness\, Compassion\, Joy and Equanimity using the solo English horn and the colors of a modern orchestra. Since we are on the topic of life and death\, we thought it appropriate to close the concert with Richard Strauss’s great tone Poem\, Death and Transfiguration\, a testament to the late Romantic philosophy. Depicting a dying artist\, thoughts of life pass through the orchestra as memories: his childhood innocence\, the struggles of his manhood\, the attainment of his worldly goals; and at the end\, the longed-for transfiguration from the infinite reaches of heaven. It’s an orchestral thrill ride worthy of the life it depicts. \nConductorsRobert Baldwin \n\nGrieg Peer Gynt Suite #1 (Op. 46)\nBimstein\, Phillip The Brahma Viharas\, A Meditation for English Horn and Orchestra World Premiere Solo: Charlotte Bell\, English Horn\nStrauss\, Richard Death and Transfiguration (Tod und Verklärung\, Op. 24) URL:https://saltlakesymphony.org/event/life-death-and-beyond/ CATEGORIES:Concerts END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20150625T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20150625T200000 DTSTAMP:20260418T031811 CREATED:20221003T174212Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221003T174212Z UID:2024-1435262400-1435262400@saltlakesymphony.org SUMMARY:Utah Arts Festival DESCRIPTION:ConductorsRobert Baldwin URL:https://saltlakesymphony.org/event/utah-arts-festival/ CATEGORIES:Concerts END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20150530T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20150530T193000 DTSTAMP:20260418T031811 CREATED:20221003T174212Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221003T174212Z UID:2023-1433014200-1433014200@saltlakesymphony.org SUMMARY:Let There Be Light! DESCRIPTION:What do you get when you ask the most prolific composer in the Classical era to compose music for an anonymous libretto about the creation of the world? Haydn’s Creation (Die Schöpfung). The libretto was first given to the great Baroque composer\, Händel\, but it was not seriously attempted until Haydn’s commission in 1797. The result is a monumental creation in and of itself\, taking texts from the Book of Genesis\, Psalms and Milton’s Paradise Lost. We join forces with the Utah Voices and Dr. Michael Huff for a memorable evening of music\, story and ultimately\, inspiration. The story will be told in music and words\, sung in English\, and will feature the vocal talents of Melissa Heath\, soprano; Robert Breault\, tenor; and Christopher Clayton\, bass-baritone as soloists. \nConductorsRobert Baldwin\, Michael Huff \n\nHaydn The Creation Solo: Melissa Heath\, soprano;Robert Breault\, tenor;Christopher Clayton\, bass-baritone\n\nGuestUtah Voices\, Chorus URL:https://saltlakesymphony.org/event/let-there-be-light/ CATEGORIES:Concerts END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20150425T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20150425T193000 DTSTAMP:20260418T031811 CREATED:20221003T174212Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221003T174212Z UID:2022-1429990200-1429990200@saltlakesymphony.org SUMMARY:Utah Talent Spotlight DESCRIPTION:Utah Talent Abounds! Our April 25th concert features home-grown talent like no other concert this year! We are pleased to welcome back to the podium Barbara Scowcroft\, conductor of the Utah Youth Symphony and violinist with the Utah Symphony. Barbara is a favorite local personality\, known for her insightful interpretations and gift of communication for musicians and audiences alike. We will open the concert with a performance of Utah composer John Costa’s Vignette\, a work originally commissioned by Barbara Scowcroft and the Utah Youth Symphony to celebrate the Salt Lake Winter Olympics in 2002. Also featured will be Shenae Anderson\, the winner of the Utah Division of the Stradivarius International Violin Competition. She will join the orchestra to perform Beethoven’s Violin Concerto. Long considered one of the quintessential concertos by any composer\, this work sparkles with energy and clarity. The evening ends in sunny Italy with Mendelssohn’s ebullient Symphony No. 4 (Italian).

DESCRIPTION:Take a pinch of the Arctic Circle\, an epic journey in Antarctica\, and throw in a fiery Russian legend. What do you get? The recipe for Fire and Ice\, our exciting March 21st program. We will be joined on the stage by talented high school student to play Sibelius’ most enduring work\, the tone poem Finlandia. Long considered the unofficial national anthem of Finland\, the work brims with dark energy and soaring melody\, indicative of the nordic country and its inhabitants. The music gets more colorful for Stravinsky’s first ballet\, The Firebird. The 1919 Suite presents the major themes and events of the ballet in a cohesive\, four-movement work. The cast of characters comes alive\, from princesses to princes\, evil sorcerers and the Firebird herself. After intermission\, we journey south-—far south-—to the South Pole. Vaughan Williams’ Symphony No. 7 (Sinfonia Antarctica) is based on material written for a 1948 film which depicts Robert Scott’s ill-fated attempt to be the first to reach the South Pole. Vaughan Williams effectively used the symphony orchestra to depict the landscape\, which ranges from bleak to awe-inspiring\, as well as the feelings experienced by the members of the expedition. Added voices of Emily Nelson\, soprano\, and a 16-voice chorus of female voices\, will add to the symphonic chills in store for the entire audience. So bundle up and light a fire with YOUR neighbors and friends\, the Salt Lake Symphony! \nConductorsRobert Baldwin \n\nSibelius Finlandia Side-by-Side with high school students\nStravinsky Suite from the Firebird (1919)\nVaughan Williams Symphony #7 (Sinfonia Antarctica) URL:https://saltlakesymphony.org/event/fire-and-ice/ CATEGORIES:Concerts END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20150124T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20150124T193000 DTSTAMP:20260418T031811 CREATED:20221003T174208Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221003T174208Z UID:2019-1422127800-1422127800@saltlakesymphony.org SUMMARY:Summer Arts Piano Competition Winners Concert DESCRIPTION:The winners of the SummerArts Piano Concerto Competition take center stage with Salt Lake Symphony conducted by Resident Conductor and U of U DMA alum\, Jong-hun Bae.
