Deer Valley Music Festival

The Deer Valley Music Festival is the summer home of the Utah Symphony and Utah Opera. It occurs each summer in July and August in Park City, Utah at the Deer Valley Resort, St. Mary's Church, Temple Har Shalom, and salon performances in local homes. The festival features the Utah Symphony and its guests performing chamber music, symphonic music, opera, and popular music.

The festival is known for collaborations between popular artists and the Utah Symphony including Elvis Costello, LeAnn Rimes, Gladys Knight, Frederica von Stade, Jewel, Tony Bennett, Ben Folds, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Pink Martini, Randy Travis, Idina Menzel, Kansas, and Earth, Wind, & Fire.

The Festival takes place over five weeks in Park City, Utah. Performances on Wednesday night feature the Utah Symphony performing chamber orchestra music in the intimate setting of St. Mary's Catholic Church. Thursday night performances feature guest chamber ensembles, also typically at St. Mary's. Friday and Saturday night performances are typically classical music performances often with guest artists featuring popular music at Deer Valley Resort Snow Park Outdoor Amphitheater. Intimate salon performances by guest artists and members of the Utah Symphony at area homes are also a staple of the festival.

Education events held throughout the festival include masterclasses and the Emerging Quartets & Composers performance. The festival is also a collaborator in the Lyceum Music Festival, which features young musicians age 13 to 21.
