Grand Teton Music Festival

The Grand Teton Music Festival has been bringing the finest in classical music to the valley of Jackson Hole since 1962. From its humble beginnings in a canvas tent at the base of Rendezvous Mountain, the Festival has grown into one of the nation’s finest music festivals. The Grand Teton Music Festival encompasses a summer season, and a winter concert series that take place in the acoustically-acclaimed, and newly renovated, Walk Festival Hall, as well as comprehensive education programs that reach our entire community.

The Grand Teton Music Festival’s all-wooden performance facility, Walk Festival Hall, is acclaimed by listeners and performers alike for its superb acoustics and intimate atmosphere. Walk Festival Hall offers the ideal combination of clear sightlines, comfortable seating, and a warm acoustic. Amphitheater style seating rises in a fan-shaped arc from a spacious stage, and offers 685 fixed seats. Several hundred people can be accommodated for on-stage banquets and receptions, and a flexible, professional sound system has the capability to play pre-recorded program material and sound reinforcement of the spoken voice. The building’s form, vaulting 65 feet high, and its rustic materials make it blend harmoniously into its beautiful setting on the lower slope of the Teton range.
