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

Rasa String Quartet at The Monarch in downtown Ogden feels less like a concert and more like four musicians playing in your living room, if your living room had exposed brick, a bar, and couches. Onstage Ogden presents this rising Boston-based ensemble at The Monarch on Thursday, May 6, 2027 at 7:30 PM for a night that erases the line between folk festival and concert hall.Rasa is not your standard string quartet. Formed in 2019, this four-piece builds programs that move from Purcell to Celtic reels to rock covers, all threaded together by the storytelling traditions at the heart of folk music. Violinist Maura Shawn Scanlin is a two-time U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Champion and Glenfiddich winner who brings a raw folk edge that most classical ensembles simply cannot touch. If you caught her at The Monarch with Rakish in 2025, you already know what she does to a room.The quartet has been turning heads fast: international competition wins in Italy and Japan, features on WBUR’s Radio Boston and WGBH, and a residency at Phillips Exeter Academy. The Boston Musical Intelligencer praised their “strikingly tight ensemble” and “consummate cohesiveness.” This is a group building serious momentum, and The Monarch is exactly the kind of venue where you want to hear them before the rooms get bigger.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.
