Emma Kail, executive director of The Grand Teton Music Festival, says the festival brings in more than 250 of the world’s very best symphonic musicians.

“The makeup of our musicians, they’re coming from all over the world, over 90 different institutions, whether that be an orchestra, an opera orchestra, a ballet orchestra, some of them are freelancers on Broadway,” she said.
