Summer is swiftly approaching, and with it comes the opportunity to take a road trip and enjoy music outdoors. The US is home to many summer festivals with robust offerings, but three in particular stand out for their idyllic settings and the spotlight they shine on the piano this season. The best news? With some planning, one could even make a journey out of it and attend all three for a summer to remember.
GTMF’s Festival Orchestra series at Walk Festival Hall in stunning Jackson Hole, Wyoming kicks off with a Beethoven Piano Extravaganza – featuring pianist Garrick Ohlsson performing all five concerti over two evenings.
This start to the season, and a later appearance from Ingrid Fliter with the Festival Orchestra, signals a huge year for piano at GTMF as they have announced their new Sunday matinee piano recital series featuring virtuosic pianists Joyce Yang, Inon Barnatan, and the 2022 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition Gold Medalist. The Gold Medalist’s performance at GTMF will be one of their first following the internationally renowned competition.
