Festival Orchestra: Rachmaninoff & Tchaikovsky’s Fifth

Opening weekend of the Festival Orchestra Series features not one but two popular monuments of the orchestral canon. Montana native and 2021 Donald Runnicles Musical Arts Scholarship Competition winner Tanner Jorden returns to the Grand Teton Music Festival to perform Rachmaninoff’s timeless and melodically rich Second Piano Concerto. Rounding out the program is Tchaikovsky’s dramatic symphonic reckoning with the immensities of fate.
