During the 2012-13 season the Utah Symphony will perform all five of the child prodigy’s symphonies, including his popular “Scottish” and “Italian,” over four special weekends.

TCHAIKOVSKY CELEBRATION For two weekends in April, Abravanel Hall becomes Tchaikovsky central. Thierry Fischer conducts Tchaikovsky’s Fifth and “Pathétique” symphonies and joins Louis Lortie for his marathon performances of all three Tchaikovsky piano concerti!

When you subscribe to the Utah Symphony’s Masterworks Series, you experience the entire sweep of history’s orchestral music in a single season. The 2012–13 season features brilliant guest artists and internationally renowned conductors who lend their awe-inspiring talents to the Classically Charged performances of the Utah Symphony musicians.

CONDUCTING. ENERGY.

“Even with today’s technology, nothing can replace live music—that specific moment in the concert hall when you feel this energy and realize how important live music is for us all.”

-Thierry Fischer

From the moment Music Director Thierry Fischer takes the podium, the feeling is contagious. High-voltage brass, wired woodwinds, electrifying percussion, and a surge of strings fill both Abravanel Hall and patrons’ hearts.

TANNER SOCIETY As a dedicated ticket buyer, subscriber, or donor, you already know the value of the Utah Symphony in our community and why it is important to continue this legacy long into the future. Planned Giving is a wonderful way to support the Utah Symphony by assessing your finances and working ahead to provide income for the organization through estate planning. Together, we can ensure the Utah Symphony is preserved for future generations.
