Under the direction of guest conductor Roberto Minczuk, the Utah Symphony will present an evening of masterworks including Richard Strauss's "Also sprach Zarathustra," which houses one of the most recognizable classical music excerpts used in pop culture today, first made popular by the 1968 science fiction film, "2001: A Space Odyssey."

Also on the program is Johann Strauss Jr.'s most famous work, "On the Beautiful Blue Danube." His Viennese family of composers shared no relation with Richard Strauss, but was well-respected by the German composer. Coincidence would further connect these two composers in 1968, when excerpts from "The Blue Danube" and "Also sprach Zarathustra" were both used in the memorable soundtrack to "2001: A Space Odyssey." This Utah Symphony performance will again bring the two composers' popular works together, and will also include Erich Korngold's "Much Ado About Nothing" suite.
