Utah Symphony was formed in the early forties and Fred E Smith was named the president. Its first concert was conducted by Hans Henroit and was an instant hit. He continued working with the group till the sixties and during his tenure, it started getting recognized for its symphonies. Utah Symphony remained a part time orchestra till the sixties and after that started functioning as full time with Maurice Abravanel as its conductor. It is during his tenure that the orchestra gained national respect and recorded extensively. With the growing popularity, the orchestra made its way to the top venues throughout the nation and went on to sign a deal with Vanguard and Vox Records. The collections composed during this contract include symphonies by Tchaikovsky and works by Milhaud, Honegger and Gottschalk. The complete cycle of Mahler Symphonies was also a part of these records.

During the era of eighties the orchestra was led by Joseph Silverstein who had an exceptional experience having worked previously as a concert master of the esteemed Boston Symphony Orchestra. He served as a conductor for Utah Symphony Orchestra till the late nineties and his tenure is remembered even today for the variety in tunes that he offered and also for leading a number of American performances.

The current music director serving the Utah Symphony Orchestra is Thierry Fischer. He is a Swiss conductor and an exceptionally talented flutist. His conducting career began in his thirties and by now his experience spans over two decades. Fischer has been a part of many notable orchestras such as BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Nagoya Philharmonic Orchestra and Ulster Orchestra and makes an effort to bring something new every time in the live event.
