Utah Symphony Performance at Abravanel Hall for 5th Grade Students

Once again we are pleased to announce Utah Symphony concerts for your 5th grade students at Abravanel Hall. The performance dates for 5th grade at Abravanel Hall are February 24, 25, and 26, 2019 at 11:30 a.m. Your school’s date and time will be soon provided on a separate schedule. Please note that there are no assigned seats. Schools will be seated upon arrival.

Study materials for use in preparing your students will be provided by the Utah Symphony in the weeks prior to the performance.

Your secretary will need to complete a transportation request on Skyward. The number of teachers should be included in your school’s final count. When entering your busing request, please include the correct group name (e.g. Daybreak, 115 Curr). This will ensure that the Curriculum Department will cover the busing fee.

Transportation requests should be completed as soon as possible. Due to the number of buses that need to be used for the Symphony concerts, there will be a moratorium on any other transportation requests for these dates.
