The Wyoming Festival–New Music in the Mountains
Music composers from the region and across the nation—inspired by the nature, science, and culture of the Teton regions—write brand new music for virtuosic performers from the Grand Teton Music Festival Orchestra. Special guest composer, George Clinton, is known for much of his work in Hollywood films (over 100, including the Austin Powers movies) and for the wildly popular violin concerto, The Rose of Sonora.
