Salt Lake Symphony: TWO CLASSICS AND A SURPRISE! [U Arts Pass Event]

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… Event Categories: Music. U Arts Pass.

Salt Lake Symphony: MUSIC FROM THE MIND’S EYE [U Arts Pass Event]

Please note – the time of this concert is subject to change. The U of U vs. BYU football game may impact our concert time. Please be prepared to switch to a matinee at 2:00 pm should it be necessary. We will announce the concert time on our website and Facebook page. We will communicate with patrons via the email used to purchase tickets.  If you ask our music director who his favorite composers are, he’ll likely hem and haw and be non-committal. But our November concert certainly include three of his top five favorites. Mendelssohn’s The Hebrides (Fingals Cave) is perhaps the finest example of a Romantic-era work depicting landscape. One can hear the waves, sea spray, and even imagine the basalt rock columns that reminded the composer of a pipe organ. Baritone James Bobick joins us to sing Mahler’s Songs of a Wayfarer. These four orchestral songs stand on their own merit, but audiences may also hear that the melodies and orchestrations were source material for Mahler’s early symphonies. We end with a major… Event Categories: Music. U Arts Pass. Campus Locations: Libby Gardner Concert Hall (DGH). Cost: General Admission: $10, Seniors & Students: $5.
