Visit Salt Lake

Salt Lake is the place where the Wasatch mountain peaks frame city streets. Sure, Salt Lake's famed for our winter powder ([four legendary ski resorts](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/skiing-snowboarding/) just 30 minutes from downtown), but that's just one season's story. Summer brings families [hiking through wildflower meadows](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/) before cooling off at a Jazz game or the Gateway fountains. Autumn paints our mountain canyons in gold, perfect for morning strolls that end at local coffee shops. Spring? That's when you might spot baby bison on Antelope Island before heading to the Eccles Theater for a Broadway show. Our soaring Wasatch Mountains rise dramatically from downtown Salt Lake, creating a place where every day offers both natural wonders and urban energy. And while we sit perfectly between the [national parks](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/state-national-parks/) with Yellowstone's geysers and Utah's red rock country, the real magic happens right here, where everyone can [discover the history](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/plan-your-visit/about-salt-lake/) of the city as they find their own rhythm between mountain adventure and city life.

“Blessed are they who bear suffering… They that sow in tears shall reap in joy”—lines from the opening movement of Brahms’ Requiem draw listeners into a sacred, powerful, and deeply human masterpiece. Music Director Designate Markus Poschner, celebrated for his compelling Brahms interpretations, moves heaven and earth in this monumental work for choir and orchestra. Brass fans, rejoice! Nico Mulhy’s Doom Painting was written for the world-renowned trumpet soloist (and the evening’s special guest) Tine Thing Helseth. Premiering in 2024 under Markus Poschner, the work engages with the metaphysical history of trumpets in the Bible, from jubilation and celebration to the solemnity of the Last Judgment. The trumpet also weaves through Ives’ The Unanswered Question, posing the “question” as the orchestra attempts to resolve—erratic and elusive as its responses may be.This calendar listing is brought to you by NowPlayingUtah.com, Utah's one-stop, online website for arts and entertainment events, powered by the Utah Cultural Alliance.
