Music festival jumpstarts Friday – JH News & Guide

The Grand Teton Music Festival is entering its 62nd summer season and continues to provide unprecedented access to classical music for the Jackson community.

This summer, the goal for GTMF is clear: Bring as much music as possible to as many people as possible.

“Music is for everyone,” said Emma Kail, executive director of GTMF, “especially the music we offer at the music festival.”

This season will stretch eight weeks, from Friday to Aug. 19, with 220 classical musicians from 75 major orchestras and 55 educational institutions participating. It will start with Beethoven, Bruch and Mendelssohn by the festival orchestra with Grammy-award winning violinist James Ehnes. It will end with a semi-staged production of Puccini’s “Madame Butterfly.” Music Director Donald Runnicles once again helms the orchestra.
