OVERVIEW
Experience a soundtrack to summer when you join the Utah Symphony under the stars for an evening of some of the greatest hits from classical music and film—with spirited works celebrating the USA, Latin America, and themes of exploration and adventure. This laid-back outdoor concert features movie music by John Williams, marches by John Philip Sousa, music from West Side Story, fiery rhythms of Márquez’s Danzón No. 2, passionate melodies from Bizet’s Carmen, and much more.
Bring a picnic, grab concessions, or pre-order a picnic dinner. Following the performance, enjoy a fireworks show.
