Grand Teton Music Festival Orchestra

The Grand Teton Music Festival Orchestra is the star ensemble of Wyoming’s renowned summer classical music event, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Teton Range. Founded in 1962, the festival brings together world-class musicians from major U.S. orchestras—like the San Francisco Symphony, Chicago Symphony, and New York Philharmonic—who flock to Jackson Hole each summer to perform under Music Director Donald Runnicles (a celebrated conductor known for his work with orchestras like the BBC Scottish Symphony). Their programming blends iconic symphonic works (like their *Complete Beethoven Piano Concertos* release) with contemporary pieces and collaborations featuring guest soloists. While they’re best experienced live at Walk Festival Hall, their seasonal highlight albums capture the magic of their mountain-side performances, from lush Romantic-era epics to modern masterworks. Beyond the stage, the festival nurtures emerging talent through fellowships, making it both a destination for music lovers and a hub for artistic growth.
