Tickets include great seats at the Lord of the Rings Symphony, preceded by dinner at one of Salt Lake’s premiere restaurants: Bambaras. Because of the gracious discounts given to us by both the Utah Symphony & Opera and Bambaras, you would be hard pressed to find such an evening for the $75 ticket price, but the ticket also includes a generous donation to Jackson Elementary School’s music department. Door prizes will be handed out to a special few, and every attendee will receive a special thank you gift.
Tickets for the October 29th event can be bought through the Utah Symphony & Opera by calling (801) 533-NOTE (6683). Ask for the Gala Tickets.
Dress is semi-formal or do feel welcome to wear your costumes! We’ll be walking to the Symphony after dinner, and television news crews have been alerted to the invasion.
