Upcoming Concerts and Performances

Mozart’s Grand Piano Concerto

Britten ~ Sinfonietta
Mozart ~ Concerto for Piano No. 25
Sibelius ~ Symphony No. 1


Mozart’s Concerto for Piano No. 25 had a difficult genesis. Although Mozart performed it on several occasions, it was not performed again in Vienna after his death, and it only gained acceptance in the standard repertoire in the later part of the twentieth century. Now it is regarded as one of Mozart’s greatest works.


The Four Seasons

Vivaldi ~ The Four Seasons
Handel ~ Concerto grosso in B-flat Major No. 2


Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons is perhaps the boldest and most recognized music composed during the baroque period.In fact, it made such a splash when it premiered that King Louis XV was known to frequently command an impromptu performance of his favorite, “Spring.” Now that’s on-demand entertainment! Join the Utah Symphony and see what it took to please a king.


Schubert’s Unfinished

Schubert ~ Symphony No. 8
Mendelssohn ~ Concerto No. 1 for Piano
Stravinsky ~ Petrushka


Welcome back Thierry Fischer as he conducts the Utah Symphony in a performance complete with one of Stravinsky’s most popular ballet scores (Petrushka), a Mendelssohn piano concerto where the piano enters unusually soon after the opening of the first movement (Piano Concerto No. 1), and Schubert’s “Unfinished” symphony (Symphony No. 8).
