History

It was founded in 1922 as the Utah State Symphony Orchestra. Its most prominent conductor was Maurice Abravanel, who built it into a well-respected ensemble and recorded and toured extensively with the orchestra. Under Abravanel, the orchestra first recorded with Vanguard Records and then with Vox Records; many of these performances, including a complete set of the symphonies of Tchaikovsky, have been reissued on CD.

Its current music director and principal conductor is Keith Lockhart. The assistant conductor is Korean-born David In-Jae Cho. In 2002, the institution merged with the Utah Opera to form Utah Symphony | Utah Opera. The orchestra performs in Abravanel Hall in downtown Salt Lake City near Temple Square.
