Wyoming Festival – New Music in the Mountains

The Wyoming Festival, established in 2016 by Anne Guzzo, brings together composers and performers of new classical music, with an emphasis on nature, ecology, and creativity. Each year select composers are invited to attend and their pieces are played by musicians from the Grand Teton Music Festival. Several performances are open to the public at the end of the event to showpiece their creations.
