The story

Grand Teton Music Festival in Jackson

The Grand Teton Music Festival is a classical music and opera organization based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, founded in 1962. Its centerpiece is a seven-week summer season at Walk Festival Hall in Teton Village, where a resident orchestra of more than two hundred musicians drawn from top American orchestras performs alongside visiting soloists and chamber ensembles.

The Grand Teton Music Festival was founded in 1962 as part of the Jackson Hole Fine Arts Festival, with conductors Ernest Hagen and George Hufsmith leading the orchestra through its earliest seasons before the festival selected Ling Tung as music director in 1968.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival assembles a resident orchestra each summer from more than two hundred fifty musicians drawn from over eighty orchestras and dozens of conservatories across North America and Europe, a world-class ensemble that exists only for the season, unusual for a resort town Jackson Hole's size

02

The mystery stays covered

Its home, Walk Festival Hall at the base of Rendezvous Mountain in Teton Village, evolved from a tent used for early seasons in the 1960s and 1970s into a permanent concert hall built in 1974, giving the festival a purpose-built venue set directly against the Tetons rather than a converted community space

03

The city starts moving

The festival also extends its identity beyond summer through year-round programming, including Metropolitan Opera Live in HD broadcasts and a weekly radio show on Wyoming Public Media and KHOL
