We are committed to safeguarding this iconic venue for future generations to enjoy and to continue its legacy as a premier destination for world-class performances.

Why Abravanel Hall Matters

Since its opening in 1979, Abravanel Hall has been more than just a concert venue. Named after the esteemed conductor Maurice Abravanel, the hall has become a cultural beacon in Salt Lake City, renowned for its superb acoustics and modernist architectural design by FFKR. It has hosted countless unforgettable performances, from symphony concerts to international artists, making it an irreplaceable part of our community’s cultural heritage.

Our Campaign

The Save Abravanel Hall campaign was launched in response to recent development plans that threaten the hall’s existence. While we support the growth and modernization of downtown Salt Lake City, we believe that this should not come at the cost of losing a treasured cultural landmark. Our campaign aims to:

  • Advocate: We actively engage with city and county officials, advocating for the preservation of Abravanel Hall.

  • Educate: Through outreach and public awareness campaigns, we educate the community about the hall's historical and cultural importance.

  • Mobilize: We rally community support through petitions, social media, and events, demonstrating widespread public opposition to demolition plans.

Our Vision

Our vision is to see Abravanel Hall continue to thrive as a center for the arts in Salt Lake City. We envision a future where this historic venue remains intact, continuing to host exceptional performances and serving as a testament to our community's dedication to the arts, .
