GTMF at Jackson Hole High School - Grand Teton Music Festival

While Walk Festival Hall is under renovation, GTMF presented a full 2026 summer season at venues throughout Jackson Hole, including the Jackson Hole High School (JHHS) Auditorium, the Center for the Arts, Teton Village Commons and other community locations. GTMF is grateful for its partnership with the Teton County School District No. 1 and Jackson Hole High School, which extends into the full school year, with weekly visits from Festival Musicians through GTMF’s Tune Up program and weeklong musician residencies in the spring and fall.

GTMF hosted Festival Orchestra Series and Benoliel Chamber Music Series concerts and Open Rehearsals at JHHS this season and commissioned lighting upgrades and custom acoustic towers that were installed in the auditorium to enhance sound quality. The lighting & towers are customized to the high school and have been left behind as a gift for future JHHS students. Watch this video to hear from JHHS Music Director, Collin Binko, about the impact of GTMF and JHHS partnership.

GTMF-supported upgrades to JHHS

The Grand Teton Music Festival commissioned custom-built acoustic panels from Wenger Corporation to fit the Jackson Hole High School Auditorium, improving the space's acoustics for the summer season and future JHHS student performances. Lighting upgrades will also benefit student shows for years to come.

Every week during the school year, GTMF’s Tune Up program brings professional musicians directly into local classrooms—creating space for focused, one-on-one or small group instruction that helps students grow in ways that aren’t always possible in a full ensemble setting.

As part of the Grand Teton Music Festival’s year-round commitment to music education, our musician residencies bring world-class artists directly into local classrooms. Jackson Hole High School’s music director, Collin Binko, reflects on the residency experience and what it has meant for students.
