THE UTAH SYMPHONY PRESENTS TWO OUTDOOR PATRIOTIC CONCERTS

SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah Symphony is again bringing a bit of patriotic spirit to the hills of Sundance and Park City this summer.

Associate conductor David Cho will lead the orchestra in its annual “Patriotic Celebration” on Eccles Stage, the outdoor amphitheatre at Sundance Resort on Friday, July 1 at 8:00 p.m. and at Deer Valley Resort’s Snow Park Outdoor Amphitheater on Saturday, July 2 at 7:30 p.m.

The program will feature a variety of American favorites from “The Star Spangled Banner” and a lineup of armed forces salutes, to John Williams’ “Star Wars Suite,” and John Philip Sousa’s “Stars and Stripes Forever.”

Tickets for the concert at Deer Valley® Snow Park Outdoor Amphitheater are $25 for lawn seating and $38 - $65 for reserved (prices increase $5 the day of the performance). Tickets for the Sundance performance are $15. Tickets can be purchased by calling (801) 355-ARTS, in person at the Abravanel Hall ticket office, or by visiting www.deervalleymusicfestival.org. Tickets for the performance at the Deer Valley® Snow Park Outdoor Amphitheater may also be purchased at Deer Valley® Signature’s stores, please call (800) 833-2002 for store hours.

A perfect primer to Utah Symphony | Utah Opera’s Deer Valley Music Festival, this patriotic concert will give patrons a chance to experience the Festival before it even begins.
