ACCESS TO AND RIGHTS TO USE RECREATIONAL AMENITIES WITHIN SHOOTING STAR MAY BE SUBJECT TO PAYMENT OF USE FEES, MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS, OR OTHER LIMITATIONS. FROM THE MUSIC DIRECTOR Donald Runnicles “You are as good as your last performance.” Such are the vicissitudes of our profession that, with the potential for success or, indeed, failure, this familiar maxim rings in most performers’ minds as portentously and intensely as ever. And so it goes with the planning, selection, and execution of every concert at our Grand Teton Music Festival—where our focus remains on each concert, on every new season living up to the promise and excellence of the last. So it all began for me in that heady 2006 summer season. Much like a traveler, fully engrossed and absorbed in every detail of a gripping novel, who looks up to determine with surprise that the scenery is different, unexpected, the station potentially missed—so, too, I look up. It is summer 2016, and with some incredulity, I try to grasp the reality: This, already, is my 10th year as Music Director. What an extraordinary decade. With pride and enormous pleasure I reflect on the deep musical and personal bonds forged in these special years between musicians; between our soloists and musicians; between you, our loyal and dedicated audience, and our performers—verily, between our souls and this heavenly landscape. Of course, the most precious bond of all is always forged anew—that between the music and ourselves. In that spirit, may the new 2016 season excite you, inspire you, soothe and elevate you. In our dizzyingly evolving world, may you find comfort in some things never changing! May our long list of the world’s finest musicians who grace the valley every year with their passion and presence thrive and grow. As you browse through the chamber and orchestral repertoire over the next seven weeks, may you be filled with the same eager anticipation in welcoming back our family—Lynn Harrell, Kelley O’Connor, Colin Currie, Jonathan Biss, and Simone Porter—as in welcoming those new to our Festival, all brilliant performers and remarkable ambassadors of our art—Maestri Conlon, Canellakis, and Feddeck, as well as Nicola Benedetti, Johannes Moser, and the Naughton sisters. It simply does not get any better. Until next season, that is … As I enter a second decade at the helm of this unique, astonishing Grand Teton Music Festival, I thank you most profoundly for your trust, respect, and support. And now I return with relish to that figurative book, eager to discover what the future chapters will hold. Humbly, gratefully, Donald Runnicles FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENT AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Sylvia Neil & Andrew Palmer Todd On behalf of the Grand Teton Music Festival, welcome to our 55th season! Whether you are returning for another summer of glorious music or discovering the Festival for the first time, we can assure you that your experience will be a memorable one. With more than 40 musical events throughout Jackson Hole, this summer truly has something for everyone. This year marks an important milestone for the Grand Teton Music Festival as we commemorate Donald Runnicles’ 10th anniversary as Music Director. We are fortunate to have in Maestro Runnicles a conductor whose music making and musical relationships span the globe. Whether at the Deutsche Oper in Berlin, the Berlin Philharmonic, the Atlanta Symphony, the Philadelphia Orchestra, or many other internationally acclaimed ensembles, Donald spreads the word about our jewel of a Festival in Jackson Hole, which he fondly refers to as his “American home.” It is his presence in the world’s musical centers that has allowed the Grand Teton Music Festival to recruit and retain the best orchestral players worldwide. Over the past 10 years, you have seen evidence of Donald’s musical reputation throughout the programs in the soloists, many of them dear friends, who have appeared with the Festival Orchestra. In this anniversary season, that tradition continues with the appearances of cellist Lynn Harrell, mezzo-soprano Kelley O’Connor, the National Collegiate Chorale of Scotland, and so many others. Following last year’s successful Gala Concert with opera star Renée Fleming, we are very excited to present international violin superstar Joshua Bell in a Gala Performance with the Festival Orchestra, conducted by our own Donald Runnicles. In addition to the impressive summer offerings that our audience has grown accustomed to from our chamber music and Festival Orchestra, you will also want to take note of other key events and concerts this summer, including our first-ever “club concert” with Time for Three at the Pink Garter Theatre and a fun evening of Big Band favorites with the Richard Brown Orchestra at the Center for the Arts. The Festival’s board and staff are passionate about serving Jackson Hole. After all, the Grand Teton Music Festival is something that belongs to the entire community. That is why we present concerts in multiple venues and formats around the town, all with an eye toward increasing accessibility. It is also why you will notice that we have a new Family Series this summer with a concert each week geared toward our future audience and anyone else who is young at heart. We want to thank the many individuals who tirelessly work to promote and support the Grand Teton Music Festival as we expand our role beyond the summer and into our community—the Board of Directors, the Festival Auxiliary, our many generous donors, and dedicated year-round staff. We especially want to thank the more than 200 orchestral musicians from across North America and around the world who choose to take part in this special and unique Festival.
