Dear Concertgoers,

We are so happy to present the Grand Teton Music Festival’s 63 season!
rd
Over the next eight weeks, more than 250 musicians from 84 orchestras and 72 education
institutions around the world will fill our hall and hearts with music.
The enduring heart of the Grand Teton Music Festival is the excellence of our Festival Orchestra,
led by Music Director Sir Donald Runnicles. Join us for the best classical music has to offer this
summer, including:

· Friday and Saturday Festival Orchestra concerts
· Benoliel Chamber Music Series recitals featuring Festival musicians and guest artists
· Gateway Series concerts featuring performances by Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn,
Sérgio and Clarice Assad, Tony DeSare, and Conrad Tao and Caleb Teicher
· More than 60 free community events around Teton County
· Special performances by GRAMMY® Award-winning pianist Garrick Ohlsson and
world-renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma

Continuing in our now three-year tradition, this season culminates in a semi-staged production
of Mozart’s opera The Magic Flute, featuring some of today’s foremost operatic singers and
the GTMF Chorus.

This year, we are overjoyed to celebrate the 50 anniversary of our home, Walk Festival Hall,
th
with our musical community. There is no better place to hear great classical music than this
storied performance space. Read further for the history of Walk Festival Hall, and join us this
summer for a number of events toasting 50 years of music in Teton Village.

The Festival would not be complete without you, our audience. Thank you for being a part
of these eight weeks of music making. If you’ve given to GTMF, thank you for your gift. Your
donations and ticket purchases are the key to every note we play.

Enjoy the magic of music on the Walk Festival Hall stage and venues around Jackson this
summer. With your continued support, the best is yet to come!
