Free and open to the public! GTMF On the Road returns to Shepherd of the Mountains Lutheran Church for an afternoon of music performed by Festival musicians.

Fairy Tale Flights: The stunning acoustics and view at Shepherd of the Mountains Church set the stage for a world premiere by GTMF’s own José González Granero and a musical retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Nightingale by this season’s featured composer, Kevin Lau.

On the Road brings live classical music to audiences in Teton County and surrounding communities through free concerts performed by Festival Orchestra musicians and hosted with our community partners. Stoner Family Education Curator Meaghan Heinrich leads programs that are accessible to all ages and bring music to life with explanations and demonstrations.

Music Director Sir Donald Runnicles celebrates his home islands with two distinct visions of Great Britain. Haydn’s final symphony was written and premiered in London, a city that adored him like a native son, while James MacMillan’s orchestral fantasy on patriotic British themes, Britannia, creates a “tapestry” of “surprising scenarios in the mind of the listener.” Not to be missed, violinist Maria Ioudenitch makes her GTMF debut with Mendelssohn’s “jewel of the heart,” the moving Violin Concerto.

Program
James MacMillan: Britannia
Mendelssohn: Violin Concerto
Haydn: Symphony No. 104, “London”

Sir Donald Runnicles, conductor
Maria Ioudenitch, violin

What do a certain Austrian composer and his English counterpart have in common? Hollywood, of course! Both John Barry and Erich Wolfgang Korngold found their way to the big screens of America and their music blurred the lines between the concert hall and the movie theater. GTMF Concertmaster Madeline Adkins performs Korngold’s lush, film-inspired Violin Concerto before the Festival Orchestra concludes the program with Beethoven’s eternal and appropriately cinematic ode to nature, the “Pastoral” Symphony No. 6.

Program
Barry: Themes from Out of Africa and Dances With Wolves
Korngold: Violin Concerto
Beethoven: Symphony No. 6
