Utah Symphony in Helper
This is an event page for a performance that has passed. Please visit our calendar to view upcoming performances.
OVERVIEW
Helper, just outside of Price, is a coal town-turned-charming art community. It’s the kind of town that makes you want to slow down and sink into a booth at a local restaurant and stay a while before meandering through the art galleries, admiring the restored buildings, or exploring the neighboring ghost towns.
Concert Highlights Include:
- A melody everyone will recognize – “Flight of the Bumble Bee.” Played as an homage to the 125th anniversary of Utah becoming a state.
- Lively melodies based on folk tunes that would have originally been played on fiddle or fife. “Romanian Folk Dances” is a fitting piece to describe the vivid landscapes and people of Utah.
- Listen as the virtuoso Utah Symphony performs the highly spontaneous and emotionally powerful Symphony No. 7, a work Beethoven himself considered one of his best.
