Director’s Message

As I begin my fifth season with the Salt Lake Symphony, I’d like to invite you to a season packed with sonic delights. This community orchestra is truly a gem for the Salt Lake Valley, region and nation.  Rarely will you hear better performances by an all-volunteer orchestra.  This season we highlight the orchestra with masterworks such as the Dvořák 9th Symphony (From the New World), Mendelssohn’s 3rd Symphony (Scottish) and monumental works by Mozart, Respighi, and Haydn plus many more!  While tickets are always available at the door, you may want to consider purchasing a season ticket package so you don’t miss a note!

For our regular attendees—it’s always good to see you in the audience!  If you've never attended one of our concerts, please join us—you won't regret it.  We offer a casual environment to hear the world’s great classical and pops music.  Some concerts also feature a pre-concert lecture, sponsored in part through a grant from the Utah Humanities Council, providing a background and history behind the music.  Come and support YOUR Salt Lake Symphony and witness the talent Utah has to offer!

Next Performance

From Caesar to the Gods

Saturday, March 27, 2010, 7:30 p.m.
Libby Gardner Hall

Dr. Robert Baldwin, conductor

Imagine yourself relaxing on a warm summer evening. A bird sings gently somewhere in the distance, and a cool breeze brings reminiscences of earlier encounters in the tombs beneath the city. Your imagination wanders, until your thoughts conjure up the most amazing image... an entire Roman Legion Marching before you, the Valoria Victrix returning in triumph! Now, imagine this is possible without leaving the State of Utah! Add a sprinkle of British pomp and one of Mozart’s finest symphonies, and you have the recipe for a memorable evening. Join the Salt Lake Symphony and maestro Robert Baldwin as they perform Mozart’s Symphony No. 41 (“Jupiter”), Elgar’s Empire March, and Respighi’s colorful tone portrait, “The Pines of Rome.” So certain to be an unforgettable experience, even a Caesar would be jealous!

Tickets $10 adults, $5 students and seniors.  Available at 801-531-7501 or at the door with cash, check or credit card.

Become acquainted with the culture behind the music by attending the free, pre-concert discussion with Music Director Robert Baldwin from 6:15 to 7:00 p.m. in Room 270, right behind the concert hall. These lectures are sponsored, in part, by the Utah Humanities Council.
