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

Imagine Dvorák walking along deep prairies and riverbanks in Iowa, immersed in 19th century Americanism while homesick for his Czech Bohemia. Drawing from folk traditions of a rich and varied American landscape, Dvorák creates his Ninth Symphony, which would eventually be hailed by one critic as “the greatest ever composed in this country.” It’s a work of spiritual melodies and profound nostalgia, and an enduring favorite for 21st century audiences. Korngold’s Schauspiel Overture opens this lush American-themed program, followed by Francisco Fullana’s performance of Barber’s achingly beautiful Violin Concerto—an introspective contrast to the sweeping grandiosity of Dvorák’s symphony. Often compared to Itzhak Perlman, Fullana is celebrated for his warm, aristocratic, and restorative playing 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.
