Dear Friends and Supporters of Grand Teton Music Festival,
Who would have predicted even a month ago that the country would be facing such extraordinary challenges? It’s a moment of the deepest challenge for society, and especially for the arts and culture community across the country. Wherever you are now, we urge you to continue to support the arts organizations you believe in, as the need has never been greater.
We are currently working on the assumption that this summer’s Grand Teton Music Festival will proceed as planned. More than ever before, we yearn to see America’s greatest orchestra musicians coming together to make music under Donald Runnicles’ inspiring leadership in the spectacular mountain setting we know and love. It will take a lot to stop the music, but rest assured that the health and safety of our musicians, staff and patrons will be in the front of our minds as we consider our options.
In the meantime, we want you to know that we have changed our ticket policies so you can purchase tickets with full confidence. In the event your plans change, or that the concert(s) you are attending do not go ahead, we are offering the following options:
- Exchange your ticket for another concert during the 2020 summer season.
- Return your ticket for a refund.
And if you would like to donate the value of your ticket back to the organization to help support the Festival’s mission and sustainability, we will be deeply grateful.
Subscription packages are available now by calling 307.733.1128. Single tickets are also on sale, either online or via phone. If you leave a message, we will return your call within one business day.
Thank you for being part of the GTMF family. We send very best wishes to you and your families, as we join together in our belief in the power of music to nourish us and give us hope.
Stay safe and take care.
Yours,
Simon Woods
Interim Executive Director
Grand Teton Music Festival
2020 Season: 20/20 Visionaries
GTMF’s 59th Season (July 3-August 22) marks two momentous events: Beethoven’s 250th birthday and the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage. 20/20 Visionaries commemorates these occasions by paying homage to women in classical music – instrumentalists, singers, conductors, and composers; by thrilling performances of some of Beethoven’s beloved works; and by masterpieces of composers on whom he had a lasting impact.
We are thrilled to welcome vocalists Renée Fleming, Bernadette Peters, and Erin Wall; violinists Midori, Gil Shaham and Adele Anthony; conductors James Conlon, Eun Sun Kim and Karina Canellakis; cellist Johannes Moser; and pianists Garrick Ohlsson and Daniela Liebman. Other performances include Patriotic Pops; Mahler in the Mountains; boundary-breaking Time for Three; composer, pianist and vocalist Clarice Assad; and the acclaimed St. Lawrence String Quartet and Dover Quartet.
And, the glory of the festival is the extraordinary group of musicians who make their way every year to Jackson Hole to come together as the Grand Teton Music Festival Orchestra, under the visionary leadership of Maestro Donald Runnicles.
