Looking back on 50 years of music, it comes as no surprise that the Grand Teton Music Festival continues to attract the world’s finest musicians to one of the most beautiful areas of the country. Originating as an ambitious cultural endeavor for such a rugged location, the determined vision of the Festival’s originators, leaders and musicians has transported this summer gathering from humble beginnings in 1962 to a star-studded 50th Anniversary celebration in 2011. The last 50 years have fostered a unique family of musicians from the nation’s top ensembles and an ever-so-loyal donor, patron and volunteer base. This community of music lovers thrives on returning for the inspiring sounds that resonate throughout the valley each summer. Join us this season as we set the stage for the next 50 years of the Grand Teton Music Festival.
