One of Jackson Hole’s most beloved summer traditions is back — and celebrating a major milestone. The Grand Teton Music Festival has officially opened its 65th season, welcoming music lovers with a slate of free events to kick things off.
The festival, a cornerstone of the valley’s cultural calendar, marks six and a half decades of bringing world-class orchestral and chamber music to the shadow of the Tetons. The 65th season opening signals another summer of performances that draw both longtime locals and visitors from across the country to the region.
Alongside the festival’s milestone season, Jackson Hole Chamber Music presented a special collaborative performance of Appalachian Spring — Aaron Copland’s iconic American work — featuring choreography by Contemporary Dance Wyoming at Dancers’ Workshop. The pairing of live chamber music with live dance offered audiences a uniquely immersive arts experience, showcasing the depth of creative talent thriving right here in the valley.
Together, these events underscore what makes Jackson Hole so special beyond its stunning landscapes: a vibrant, year-round arts community that continues to grow and inspire. Whether you’re a longtime festival-goer or experiencing it for the first time, this summer promises to be a memorable one for music and the arts in Jackson Hole.
