TETON VILLAGE, Wyo. — Join Grand Teton Music Festival (GTMF) for the 62nd season at Walk Music Festival in Teton Village, from June 30 through August 19.

Eight weeks of performances under the leadership of Sir Donald Runnicles kicks off June 30 when festival favorite, James Ehnes returns to perform Bruch 1, a work heralded by its dedicatee as the “richest” and “most seductive” of the great 19th-century violin concertos.

Other highlights include Strauss’ epic Ein Heldenleben featuring GTMF Concertmaster Madeline Adkins, Mozart’s Bassoon Concerto with GTMF principal bassoonist Sue Heineman, plus guest appearances by pianists Yefim Bronfman and Marc-André Hamelin, cellist Alisa Weilerstein, mezzo-soprano Kelley O’Connor and soprano Julia Bullock. 

The Sunday Matinee Piano Recital Series showcases accomplished pianists: Michelle Cann, Clayton Stephenson and George Li. In addition, Festival Orchestra musicians are featured in an eclectic six-concert Chamber Music Series.

The Gateway Series returns with four diverse artists and ensembles: jazz vocalist Dee Daniels, the Mambo Kings with Camille Zamora, The Music of Motown with percussionist Richard Brown and his band plus guest vocalists, and vocalist/mandolinist Chris Thile.

Special events include an evening with six-time Tony Award-winner Audra McDonald and a performance by the National Youth Orchestra with violinist Gil Shaham, conducted by Sir Andrew Davis.

Two outdoor events will be held at the Center for the Arts Park, the Patriotic Pops concert with Broadway star Nikki Renée Daniels and Jeff Kready on July 4 from 7-9 p.m. A free Family Concert will also be held in the Park on July 3.

The Festival Orchestra series culminates in a semi-staged production of Puccini’s Madame Butterfly, featuring seven world-class opera soloists.
