     Sterling Poulson, music director and conductor of the Days of ’47 KUTV Pops concert since 1997, invites you to join the Salt Lake Symphony, and guest artists Lark & Spur for two great nights of inspiring music celebrating the spirit of the Pioneers that is still strong today, presented by Seven Brothers Burgers and ENVE Composites

Founded in 1976, the Salt Lake Symphony is one of the area’s most highly respected volunteer driven orchestras. The Salt Lake Symphony is a non-profit organization dedicated to performing quality classical music concerts for the Wasatch Front community. The Symphony performs around 15 concerts per year. The approximately seventy-five hard-working musicians of the SLS volunteer roughly 10,000 hours annually to accomplish this goal. Although the members of the Salt Lake Symphony come from all walks of life and frequently work full-time in other professions, they hold one thing in common: They play for the love and passion of music. Their dedication as volunteers sets them apart and creates a unique bond.

     Lark & Spur is an acoustic sextet known for their sophisticated blend of jazz standards, Celtic and French folk songs, gypsy swing, bossa nova and Broadway tunes. Originally formed as a duo, when Lori Decker and Jeff Whiteley began performing on the streets of European cities like Paris and Munich, their captivating sound led to appearances on French radio and television and invitations to European jazz festivals such as Montreux, Brienz, and Deauville. Over time, the group expanded to include additional guitars, piano, double bass, and percussion. Their performances are characterized by respect for melody, memorable vocals, soaring harmonies, intricate arrangements, and heartfelt delivery. Views of Lark & Spur videos on YouTube number in the millions. Lark & Spur was instrumental in the founding of the arts nonprofit, Excellence in the Community.
