The performance:

Tchaikovsky invites you to "forsake reality and lose oneself in dreams" with his great symphonic masterpiece, Symphony No. 4 in F minor conducted by the world-renowned Maestro JoAnn Falletta. And, what better way to 'check out' than with that oddity of oddities, a Percussion Concerto complete with vibraphone, temple blocks, marimba, wood blocks, a bowl, gongs, timbales, tom-toms, bongos, crotales, and yes...cowbell (the marvelous instrument of Will Farrell in the famous SNL cowbell sketch). Young Scotsman Colin Currie brings Jennifer Higdon's concerto to life. Vivace members sit together, get a fabulous discount, and receive a unique version of the program notes.

The after-party:

For Vivace's 3rd birthday, we're shaking things up! Party all night long with fellow Vivace peeps, percussionist Colin Currie, Maestro JoAnn Falletta, and members of the Utah Symphony while enjoying extraordinary, and FREE, culinary delights, champagne, and various non-alcoholic drinks in Abravanel Hall's 1st Tier Room. You cannot purchase an after-party ticket separately from the concert ticket. If you are a Classical V or Utah Symphony season ticket holder, and already have tickets to the March 22 performance, call 801.869.9017 for your after-party tickets.
