S8, Ep 9: Schumann and Azmeh

The mission of the Grand Teton Music Festival (GTMF) is to engage, entertain, educate, and inspire our resident and seasonal communities through exhilarating musical experiences. GTMF fulfills its mission through 150 concerts, education activities and community events each year.

The main driver of GTMF’s impact is its annual summer festival held in Jackson Hole each July and August. The Festival Orchestra led by Music Director Sir Donald Runnicles is its heart and soul. This “super group” of more than 220 classical musicians from 75 major orchestras and 55 education institutions around the world performs eight weeks of symphonic and chamber music concerts in GTMF’s acclaimed Walk Festival Hall. 

Festival musicians also support GTMF’s community impact, widening access to music by participating in GTMF’s free education and community engagement programs. The Festival also welcomes some of the most sought-after soloists and visiting artists in classical music today.

During the summer, GTMF augments the Festival Orchestra’s concert and community programming with:

*Chamber Music Series featuring Festival musicians
*Performances by non-classical artists and ensembles
*Free community engagement programs presented by resident Education Curator Meaghan Heinrich

GTMF stays connected with people year-round through concerts in Jackson’s Center for the Arts, presentations of the Met Opera in HD, select digital programming, and free events for Jackson students.
