SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (Nov. 1, 2019) – For the first time ever in cutting-edge LED 3D, experience America’s most breathtaking natural wonders and bustling cities, paired with live classical and contemporary compositions played live by the Utah Symphony led by Utah Symphony Associate Conductor Conner Gray Covington. This one-night special event will be held on November 19th commemorating the 100th anniversary of President Woodrow Wilson establishing Zion National Park. Tickets start at $30 and can be purchased here.
Audience members will be taken on a journey through 28 of America’s most breathtaking national parks – including all five of Utah’s Mighty Five™ national parks – and eleven of our most exciting cities. 3D glasses will be handed out before patrons enter the concert hall.
Experience the wonder of watching the sunrise over the Grand Canyon while listening to Grofé’s “Grand Canyon Suite” and flying over the Appalachian Mountains as the Utah Symphony performs Copland’s “Appalachian Spring.” Continue your journey into our nation’s vibrant cities as tenor Adam Fisher and the orchestra perform “New York, New York” as you walk through New York’s Times Square, “Viva Las Vegas” as you experience the thrill and lights of Las Vegas, and “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” as you virtually stroll across the Golden Gate Bridge.
