TETON VILLAGE, Wyo. — Grand Teton Music Festival will return with its 64th season this summer! Enjoy world-class musical entertainment from July 3 through Aug. 23.
The summer kicks off with the Festival Orchestra performing the epic and beloved Symphony No. 9 by Beethoven (containing the famous “Ode to Joy”) with the Festival Chorus and internationally-renowned soloists, led by Sir Donald Runnicles.
Other highlights include a world premiere song cycle by Australian composer Alex Turley with mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke, Festival favorite ensemble Time for Three playing Kevin Puts’ Contact concerto, violinist James Ehnes and the Brahms concerto, Mahler in the Mountains with the composer’s rarely-performed Symphony No. 7, and guitarist JIJI in Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez.
Stéphane Denève returns as a guest conductor; Kevin John Edusei and Enrique Mazzola make their Festival debuts. The Festival Orchestra series culminates in Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel, featuring world-renowned opera soloists and the Festival Chorus.
Special events include an intimate performance with Broadway legend Patti LuPone and a recital by pianist Clayton Stephenson.
