SALT LAKE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

The Salt Lake Symphony strives to be the area’s best community orchestra. We are a non-profit organization dedicated to performing quality classical music concerts for the Wasatch Front community. Our mission is unique in many respects. Our concerts are inexpensive and informal, drawing an audience that might not otherwise attend a classical music event. We are an amateur orchestra in the purest sense, striving always to increase our connections with community members to keep the beauty and passion of classical music alive. In particular, we are committed to education, and will continue to initiate projects that bring music to children. Musicians go into the schools to play and talk about instrumental and vocal music This also includes our annual Family Fun concert, which we regulary collaborate with local charities, such as Big Brothers, Big Sisters donating toys or books. Draw the Music sends some of our musicians into the schools to play snippets of our concert pieces, then, in collaboration with art teachers, ask the students to draw what they hear. We have a panel of judges choose some of the best, awarding those students and their schools art supplies. We are part of the Vet Tix program, offering free tickets to veterans. We have also highlighted a prison art program at a concert. We are dedicated to providing opportunities to Utah performers, conductors, and composers to display their talents to our audiences.
