Verdi’s Requiem explores the powerful emotions of forgiveness, mercy, loss, and sorrow, and includes an inescap-able, trumpeted call to Judgment in the Tuba mirum.

Amongst all who auditioned for September’s Salute to Youth, one stellar youth soloist will be selected to shine in a full-length concerto with the Utah Symphony. Also, your family will be dazzled by large-scale orchestral works performed by the Utah Symphony alongside our Youth Symphony All-Stars.


Nicknamed after a novel by Jean Paul Richter, Mahler specified that his First Symphony was in no way “about” the book. With an offstage trumpet doubling the first trumpet melody “in the distance” and a funeral march based on the children’s song Frère Jacques, “Titan” showcases the darker side of Romanticism.
