Utah Symphony Led by Tianyi Lu Performs Habibi’s Zhiân – April 11th
April 11, 2026 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm MDT

OVERVIEW
The rhythmic power of Orff’s Carmina Burana is unstoppable. With its massive orchestral forces and exhilarating chorus, this cantata celebrates the wheel of fortune in all its glorious ups and downs. “O Fortuna”? You know it. And it’s going to blow you away.
Debussy’s Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune sets the stage with its dreamlike Impressionism, transporting you to a world where a mythical creature lounges in the warmth of the afternoon sun. Plus, immerse yourself in Iman Habibi’s Zhian, a heartfelt tribute to the courageous people of Iran.
