WELCOME
Welcome to the celebration of great music, stunning natural
beauty, and inspiration that is Bravo! Vail. Our 33rd season kicks
off with the debut of Chamber Orchestra of Europe featuring
dazzling pianist Yuja Wang. The Dallas Symphony Orchestra
celebrates Dvořák and Mozart, The Fabulous Philadelphians
rejoice in the majesty of the mountains with Strauss’s epic Alpine
Symphony, and superstar Kelli O’Hara joins the renowned New
York Philharmonic.
Summer 2020 will feature Bravo! Vail’s inaugural Immersive
Experiences series—a riveting 3-concert deep dive into
Beethoven’s complete piano and violin sonatas. This new
series expands our incredible variety of intimate performances
including the elegance of The Linda & Mitch Hart Soirée Series,
the eclectic Chamber Music Series, category-defying Classically
Uncorked presented by Meiomi Wine, and the electrifying After
Dark sessions.
Beyond the concert hall and throughout the year, Bravo! Vail’s
Education & Engagement Programs ensure that the widest possible
audience experiences the power of music, creating connections
through fascinating behind-the-scenes programs, meaningful
community partnerships, and free concerts for all ages.
With so much to celebrate, you won’t want to miss a note!
