Virtual Film Premiere – Fairy Tales, Four Seasons & A World Premiere

Join us for the virtual premiere of the Grand Teton Music Festival’s chamber music concert film, Fairy Tales, Four Seasons & A World Premiere on November 12, 2026 at 7 PM MT.

The world-class musicians of the Grand Teton Music Festival (GTMF) perform an evening of chamber music storytelling. Composer Kevin Lau tells Hans Christian Andersen’s The Nightingale in music. Selections from Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, featuring violinist Maria Ioudenitch, are paired with readings of the sonnets originally published in the score and original poetry by Jackson poet Matt Daly. Hojoki, a new piano trio by GTMF clarinetist and composer José González Granero, receives its world premiere, evoking the peace and turmoil of isolation. Hosted and curated by Chamber Music Advisor Adelle Eslinger Runnicles, this concert was presented during the Festival’s 65th anniversary season as part of the Benoliel Chamber Music Series.
