U School of Music's 20th annual Haunted Orchestra is back and spookier than ever with a new theme, “The Demon Maestro of Utah.”

On Oct. 28 and 29, Utah Philharmonia’s family favorite concert will feature chilling Halloween classics by Mussorgsky, Saint-Saëns, Humperdink and Sondheim. 

Students from the School of Dance will also perform during concert adding another level of exciting entertainment. 

Unlike last year, the concert will be in-person as well as live streamed on the School of Music’s Virtual Venue. All members of the orchestra, including the conductor will be dressed in costume. Attendees are encouraged to join the fun and dress up in Halloween attire too. Music starts at 7:30 p.m. MT.

Admission is $12.50 for adults and $6.50 for students and children/faculty and staff/seniors. The event is free for U students through Arts Pass with their Ucard. Tickets may be purchased from Kingsbury Hall Ticket Office, at the door, or by calling (801) 581-7100. For more info visit, tickets.utah.edu.
