For over 3 decades, the Utah Symphony performed at the Mormon Tabernacle in the heart of Salt Lake City. The orchestra moved to its current home at Abravanel Hall in the fall of 1979. By the 1970’s, the Utah Symphony’s summer season had grown to include concerts held at ski venues and at local and national parks across the state. The orchestra’s season grew to a 52 week schedule in 1980, and since 2003, its permanent summer home is the Deer Valley® Music Festival in Park City, Utah.

Utah Opera was founded in 1978, and since its debut, the Utah Symphony has performed for its productions at Salt Lake’s Capitol Theatre. In 2002, the two organizations merged to form Utah Symphony | Utah Opera, the parent company of the Deer Valley® Music Festival, Utah Opera and the Utah Symphony.
