Thanksgiving Point is proud to host an evening with the Utah Symphony, presented by Kem and Carolyn Gardner, at the outdoor Waterfall Amphitheatre in Ashton Gardens on Wednesday, July 7 in celebration of Independence Day.
“It will be great to gather as a community again after so many canceled events and activities in 2020,” said Thanksgiving Point President and CEO, McKay Christensen. “We’re thrilled to welcome the Utah Symphony and guests back to the Ashton Gardens to enjoy the beauty of our surroundings and incredible music.”
The Utah Symphony with Conner Gray Covington, conductor, will accompany Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson as she narrates Copland’s Lincoln Portrait as a special number. They will also play featured works celebrating the American spirit, including classic compositions by John Williams, Charles Ives, Bernstein, Sousa, Aaron Copland, Peter Boyer, Edward Elgar, and Pyotr Tchaikovsky. Following the performance, guests will be treated to a professional firework show high above the Ashton Garden’s waterfall.
