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.

Sports Salt Lake

A legendary melody. Powerful, octave-jumping fingerwork. A piece initially deemed “worthless” evolving into an undisputed classic. The spirit of Romantic rebellion lives on in Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1, the work widely regarded as the “King of the Concert Hall,” performed to heroic heights by pianist George Li. Enjoy Tchaikovsky’s passionate showpiece alongside two rapturous works: Mussorgsky’s Prelude to Khovanshchina and Zemlinsky’s The Mermaid, a folktale-inspired piece depicting deep ocean, fantastical characters, and a dive into the composer’s psyche following his tempestuous love affair with Alma Mahler (she broke off the relationship to marry the more established Gustav Mahler). Altogether, this is a program of tension and triumph with radiant orchestration throughout.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.
