In partnership with the School of Dance
“...Limón’s heroic style felt fresh with possibilities.” – The New York Times
Now celebrating its 80th anniversary, the Limón Dance Company has been at the forefront of dance innovation since its formation in 1946. It was the first modern dance company to perform at New York’s Lincoln Center and has performed at The White House twice. Pairing new choreography by brilliant contemporary artists with revivals of José Limón’s groundbreaking works keeps their rich history connected to the present day. Their theatricality, connection to rhythm, and precise imagery, along with their dedication to cultural partnerships and commissioning new works, makes Limón one of the most influential voices in American dance today.
At UtahPresents, the Limón Dance Company will perform Mazurkas, a work of exuberant and musical dancing. Following a visit to Poland after WWII, Limón created Mazurkas to celebrate the vitality of the Polish people with music by Polish composer Frédéric…

“Famed for inventing the zitar, Niladri Kumaar occupies a unique place in the fusion music space.” - Hindustan Times
Experience the artistry of internationally acclaimed sitar virtuoso and composer Niladri Kumaar, one of the most innovative voices in Indian music today. Revered for his mastery of Indian classical traditions and celebrated for pushing the boundaries of the art form, Kumaar creates performances that are both deeply rooted and strikingly contemporary.
In Space Between the Notes, Kumaar honors his longtime musical partnership with the legendary Zakir Hussain through music inspired by their final recorded live performance together, captured in Mumbai and released as a landmark album. Hussain was part of UtahPresents’ 2024–25 season, but his passing just two months before the performance prevented the highly anticipated appearance, and this concert brings the story full circle.

Music Direction by Trevor Jex
Choreography by Tally Ballas and Erin Speer with Elle Denlea
Associate Director Elle Denlea

Carrie White is a teenage outcast who longs to fit in. At school, she’s bullied by the popular crowd, and virtually invisible to everyone else. At home, she’s dominated by her loving but cruelly controlling mother. What none of them know is that Carrie’s just discovered she’s got a special power, and if pushed too far, she’s not afraid to use it.
This show is intended for mature audiences. It includes depictions of bullying, homophonic slurs, religious extremism, violence, and death, along with discussions of menstruation and sexual assault. Fog and lightning effects will also be used during this production. Viewer discretion is advised.

Carrie White is a teenage outcast who longs to fit in. At school, she’s bullied by the popular crowd, and virtually invisible to everyone else. At home, she’s dominated by her loving but cruelly controlling mother. What none of them know is that Carrie’s just discovered she’s got a special power, and if pushed too far, she’s not afraid to use it.
This show is intended for mature audiences. It includes depictions of bullying, homophonic slurs, religious extremism, violence, and death, along with discussions of menstruation and sexual assault. Fog and lightning effects will also be used during this production. Viewer discretion is advised.

School of Music
Our 51st season opens with two audience favorites, the Variations on a Theme by Haydn by Johannes Brahms and the Sixth Symphony of Antonin Dvorak. Both are examples of the finest orchestral writing of the late 19th century, helping assure both composers of their place in history. The Variations are not, as advertised, on a theme by Haydn, yet Brahms and his publisher probably knew this. As the theme was believed by the public to be by the venerated composer, the name stuck (and likely helped sell the piece to audiences!). Dvorak’s Symphony no. 6 is an example of a composer at the top of his creative game, blending Czech folk elements with traditional symphonic writing to produce a wholly unique sound. Orchestras and audiences love both works, but they will also be enchanted by our opening piece, an overture to a little-known opera by Dame Ethel Smyth, an English composer not well known in America. Smyth was a fascinating woman, the first female composer to receive a damehood (the equivalent of a male being…

Branford Marsalis & Dianne Reeves Celebrate John Coltrane [U Arts Pass Event]
Jazz at Kingsbury Hall
He is “A beguiling saxophonist.” – Los Angeles Times. She is “A jazz vocal phenomenon.” – The Guardian. Together they are making magic.
Renowned saxophonist Branford Marsalis is a versatile performer, equally at home playing concertos with symphony orchestras and sitting in with members of the Grateful Dead. His main focus lies with the Branford Marsalis Quartet, a celebrated ensemble that, in the words of reviewer John Zeugner, is “casually confident...cerebral, and supercharged with energy.”
At UtahPresents, the Branford Marsalis Quartet is joined by Diane Reeves, the most prominent vocalist in jazz today. Reeves is best known for her improvisational skill and her one-of-a-kind R&B and jazz stylings. She made Grammy history by being the first vocal artist to win a Grammy award on three consecutive recordings.
Both Marsalis and Reeves have been designated as Jazz Masters by The National Endowment for the Arts, the highest honor the United States bestows on jazz artists. Together,…

John O'Connell came to painting late, then spent the rest of his life making up for lost time. Born in Worcester, Massachusetts, he grew up in a big Irish neighborhood in the urban Northeast and made his first painting at 28, following stints in engineering school, construction, and music. He studied at Massachusetts College of Art and the University of Connecticut, taught at Middle Tennessee State University, and joined the University of Utah faculty, where he was associate professor of Painting and Drawing for more than two decades. His paintings layered organic forms, weaving industrial textures and decomposition. Utilizing his knowledge of construction and the erosion of material, he crafted…

Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan [U Arts Pass Event]
“When you’re talking about Cloud Gate, "magic" is not too strong a word.” - Time Out
Founded in 1973, Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan was the first contemporary dance company in the Chinese-speaking world. The company takes its name from the oldest known Chinese dance and seeks to combine traditional training with modern movement styles. Its dancers are well-versed in Qi Gong and meditation, as well as ballet and street dance. They have performed on stages around the globe and were recognized by The Times as “Asia’s leading contemporary dance theater.”
The evening features Blue Hour / Beckoning: A Double Bill. Derived from the French phrase l'heure bleue, Blue Hour is inspired by a vision of the hazy blue sky glimpsed in the predawn darkness of New York. Beckoning draws from the Taiwanese street-dancing ritual of the Eight Infernal Generals (Ba Jia Jiang), creating a mysterious zigzag of body language that gives this abstract work a playful yet poetic quality.
