 While most concerts at the de Jong are by BYU groups, outside groups such as the Utah Symphony also perform there.Events at the de Jong not only generate articles in the BYU paper but also are mentioned in Salt Lake City publications such as the Deseret News and the Salt Lake Tribune as well as in independent Latter-day Saint oriented magazines such as Meridian Magazine.The hall is so central to the school of music's operations that studies aimed at getting ideal sound quality in the hall have been published by the Audio Engineering Society.
