2025-2026 Concert Opportunities
Here are over 100 high-quality orchestra concerts, many of them free. If there is another orchestra concert you would like to attend, please clear it with Mr. Wells first – you’d hate to go to a concert that doesn’t count! You may not write a report on a Salem Orchestra concert that you are participating in, but you may choose any of the others on this list. You need to attend at least one per term, with extra credit for extra concerts. You will also receive extra credit for attending any concert by the Utah Symphony.
*All performances are subject to change, so please CHECK THE DATE, TIME, LOCATION AND AVAILABILITY OF TICKETS before attending a concert. Try to avoid attending a concert at the very end of the term.*
