UTAH SYMPHONY | UTAH OPERA’S DEER VALLEYÒ MUSIC FESTIVAL PRESENTS A WEEKEND OF CANNONS AND COUNTRY
Guest conductor David Lockington presents Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture and Randy Travis performs with the Utah Symphony
SALT LAKE CITY – Utah Symphony | Utah Opera’s Deer ValleyÒ Music Festival heats up with Tchaikovsky’s cannon-filled 1812 Overture on Friday, August 6 at 7:30 p.m. and an evening with country legend Randy Travis on Saturday, August 7 at 7:30 p.m. at the Deer ValleyÒ Snow Park Outdoor Amphitheater. Prior to these events, two chamber concerts will take place at St. Mary’s Church featuring Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings on Wednesday, August 4 at 8:00 p.m followed by a performance with percussion quartet Sō Percussion on Thursday, August 5 at 8:00 p.m.
Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings
Guest conductor David Lockington returns for four concerts beginning with Tchaikovsky’s passionate Serenade in C Major. The program begins with the ever popular Rossini Overture to The Italian Girl in Algiers followed by Mozart’s famous Oboe Concerto in C Major featuring the Utah Symphony’s Principal Oboe Robert Stephenson
Sō Percussion
Sō Percussion has been called “mesmerizing,” “brilliant,” and “consistently impressive” by The New York Times. The percussion quartet uses drums, bells, cymbals, xylophones and just about anything else that can be hit to create raucous and touching music that spans the extremes of emotion and musical possibility.
1812 Overture
Featuring Tchaikovsky’s explosive 1812 Overture, complete with live cannons, this concert also includes orchestral pieces decided on by the audience. Patrons had the opportunity to vote online for their orchestral favorites and the evening’s program was created based of the highest number of votes for each piece (full program below).
Randy Travis with the Utah Symphony
With 22 number-one hits, 6 number-one albums, 5 Grammys and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, full-time musician and actor Randy Travis joins the Utah Symphony for a night of classic country, blue-grass boogie and inspirational songs.
