Classical 89 will be at Abravanel Hall for the Utah Symphony’s first program of the new season. Come mingle with us before, during, or after intermission. We’d love to get to know you better! And if it suits you, we’ll even have a microphone ready to record a quick thought or two for broadcast…whether it’s wishing the Utah Symphony a fantastic new season, or maybe just sharing a favorite symphonic moment or memory. See you there!
