Orchestra Roster

Meet the Orchestra

Each summer, more than 200 of the finest orchestra musicians from across the nation journey to Jackson Hole to make music together as the Grand Teton Music Festival Orchestra.  Some have been calling Jackson Hole and the Grand Teton Music Festival their summer home for as many as 25 years or more, and return year after year for the collegial atmosphere, and the joy of making music together in these spectacular surroundings.
