The Park City Institute Presents a Variety performance series each year - The Winter series at the George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Center for the Performing Arts and summer concerts at the Canyons Village.

Winter Series
The Winter Series is where the meat and bones of our performing arts organization rest most comfortably. For 25 years, we have brought entertainers in dance, theater, music, and thought leaders to our stage. We love spreading ideas, as well as nurturing a love for classically trained dancers, comedians, and music that lifts us and makes us cry all in one song.
The Winter Series brings opportunities for students to work with our talent for more than half of our Winter Series shows. We believe that the performing arts can be a catalyst for positive change, a powerful tool to support mental health, and a source of inspiration for students and the community. To asure each student has access to the arts, we provide $5 discount tickets to Summit County students so they can find healing, inspiration, and transformation through the performing arts.
We also offer two-for-one tickets to military families, First Responders, clients of the Peace House women’s shelter, and other underserved populations in our community.
Summer Concerts at Canyons Village
The Summer Concerts at Canyons Village series returned to the Canyons Village at Park City Mountian Resort in 2023. This popular series has been entertaining, educating, and illuminating residents and guests for 15 years. It brings all genres of music to our stage- from artists like Jewel, One Republic, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and Marty Stuart to more emerging performers like JAX and Dispatch. Through Big Stars Bright Nights, Park City Institute introduced John Batiste, Cory Wong, and six-time Grammy nominee Sarah Bareilles to Utah audiences. We have also brought country classics, including Willie Nelson. Dierks Bentley, Clay Walker, and Justin Moore along with legendary performers from BB King, Robert Cray to Etta James.
