SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Symphony is sending the Utah Jazz into its next battle with the Houston Rockets style with a battle cry.
The symphony recently filmed a video message in which Conductor and Music Director Thierry Fischer and the entire Utah Symphony wear Utah Jazz jerseys t-shirts while playing the "Sunrise" fanfare from German composer Richard Strauss' free-form symphonic piece "Also sprach Zarathustra."
Director Stanley Kubrick brought the swelling piece to a new generation when he used it in the score of his Oscar-winning 1968 film "2001: Space Odyssey."
Watch the Utah Symphony's video — titled “Houston, you have a problem” — below.
