Bringing quality music to West Valley City and surrounding areas, the symphony just celebrated its 23th season. In 2012, orchestra performed in Abravanel Hall for the Days of '47 Pops Concert and has a long history of performing with the Choral Arts Society of Utah for the KUTV Salvation Army Angel Tree Concert, helping to raise tens of thousands of dollars for needy children and seniors during the Holiday Season. Maestro Donny Gilbert received his Master's Degree in orchestration and composition from the University of Utah and has been the music director of the symphony since 2008.
