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

In an evening led by French-British conductor Stephanie Childress, journey across the Atlantic with works by Britten and Elgar, two of the most popular and distinctive British composers of the last two centuries. You’ll recognize passages of Britten’s Simple Symphony from films by Wes Anderson—the “Playful Pizzicato” an ideal complement to the director’s fantastical, meticulously crafted aesthetic. Then, a delightful (and somewhat bittersweet) performance of Britten’s Violin Concerto from soloist Noa Wildschut, celebrated for her luminous playing and musicality. Finally, get lost in the rich atmosphere of Elgar’s First Symphony. Wherever you call home, you can’t help but get caught up in all the glory, beauty, and longing of the composer’s distinctly “English” style.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.
