For one of the hottest symphony tickets of the season, head to the bar

Two nights before playing the Schoenberg Violin Concerto with the Utah Symphony at Abravanel Hall, Kopatchinskaja will perform Arnold Schoenberg’s seminal song cycle “Pierrot Lunaire” — usually translated as “Moonstruck Pierrot” or “Pierrot in the Moonlight” — at the nearby SKY SLC nightclub with five Utah Symphony musicians and music director Thierry Fischer.

“I played [‘Pierrot’] several times as a violinist and always longed to do it as a vocalist,” Kopatchinskaja said in an email to The Salt Lake Tribune. She’s getting her chance in Salt Lake City, though she’s already tried out the piece at a private gathering in Switzerland.
