Susan Sutton, Chair, Setting the Stage campaign; Board Vice-Chair
Nick and I fell in love with the Grand Teton Music Festival about eight years ago. Since then, our passion and commitment to it have only grown. What started as attending a few concerts quickly became something much more meaningful. These days, we build our entire summer around the Festival—we’re here every weekend, soaking in the music and the community that makes GTMF so special.
Supporting the Setting the Stage campaign felt like a natural next step for us. The Festival has brought so much joy and inspiration into our lives, and we wanted to help ensure that continues for years to come. We also feel that the current leadership is simply outstanding—they’re supporting the musicians wholeheartedly and guiding the organization with vision and integrity. We’re proud to contribute to that momentum.
GTMF brings world-class music to the Tetons, creating an experience that’s both artistically rich and deeply communal. It’s a place where people of all ages can connect through music, where young talent is nurtured, and where the arts are accessible and celebrated. We believe GTMF’s mission is vital—not just for today’s audiences, but for future generations who deserve to grow up in a community where music and culture are thriving.
