It was standing room only Saturday in Libby Gardner Concert Hall as the Salt Lake Symphony teamed up with the up-and-coming Davis County-based Utah Voices in celebration of Beethoven.

The evening’s main event was Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9. Though this symphony is best-known for its grand "Ode to Joy" choral finale, most of the heavy lifting comes from the orchestra.

SALT LAKE SYMPHONY AND UTAH VOICES DELIVER ‘GLORIOUS BEETHOVEN’

Submitted by admin on March 26, 2012 - 11:17pm

Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony is a major undertaking for any orchestra and chorus, not just for community ensembles. The work places huge demands on both the instrumentalists and singers, but that didn’t stop Robert Baldwin from programming it this season with his Salt Lake Symphony. And the performance Saturday with Utah Voices proved that not only the orchestra, but also the chorus, was more than up to the challenge. This is the third time the two groups have joined forces and it’s certainly a collaboration worth continuing. The two work well together.

Community choir wants to 'be somebody' in artistic community

Submitted by admin on January 8, 2012 - 11:29pm

If you’ve ever attended any kind of choral performance, you probably think you have a good idea of what they're always like.

The singers shuffle onto the stage, someone sits at the piano, the conductor stands before the group and they sing two hours away before shuffling off the stage, ending the concert.

Utah Voices has a different vision of what the choral experience should be for both choir members and audience.

Thoughts of "Hometown Praise"

Submitted by kariotti on October 17, 2011 - 10:41pm

Autumn is my favorite time of year; I have been awestruck by the beautiful, blazing colors up on the mountains surrounding the neighborhood where I live.  This time of year reminds me of all the things that I love, that I treasure, hold dear and hope for.  Music plays a central and definite role in the revelry that is autumn.  Ever since our "Give Thanks" concert last year with the amazing Cori Connors I have wanted to always have a fall concert, one that celebrates the best things about home, holiday, tradition, family and nostalgic memory.  This year, with ou
