Our Festival Choice
Grand Teton Music Festival

Not distracted by its spectacular Wyoming setting, Grand Teton sets its customary focus on big names and splashy, large-scale programmes. Donald Runnicles conducts the Festival Orchestra in Mahler’s Resurrection Symphony No. 2, Richard Strauss’s Death and Transfiguration and Beethoven’s five piano concertos with Garrick Ohlsson. Other noted soloists include Johannes Moser (Dvořák Cello Concerto), soprano Erin Wall (Strauss’s Four Last Songs) and Midori (Sibelius Violin Concerto). Also look for performances by pianist-composer Clarice Assad, violinists Gil Shaham and Adele Anthony, and singer Bernadette Peters.
