Founded in 1949, the Salt Lake Symphonic Choir is the third oldest musical organization in the valley behind only The Tabernacle Choir and the Utah Symphony.  The Salt Lake Symphonic Choir has performed throughout the United States, Canada, Russia, and Armenia.

In May 2019, the choir celebrated its 70th anniversary with a spectacular performance of Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana in Libby Gardner Concert Hall. Now 75 years old, the choir continues to seek out and perform new and exciting music.

The  choir regularly collaborates with professional instrumentalists, regional symphony orchestras and choirs, most recently performing the Requiems
of both Mozart and Verdi with the Utah Choral Artists under the direction of Brady Allred.

The choir performs a variety of sacred and secular music from jazz and bluegrass to contemporary classical works such as the Utah premiere of Dan Forrest’s Requiem for the Living, and recently-commissioned works from Michael Mills and the Salt Lake Symphonic Choir’s own Adam Holladay, Ryan Meeks, Jacob Rex Ostler, and William Mattingly.
