Bravo! Vail Music Festival

Join us for an unforgettable evening of classical music as VAN ZWEDEN CONDUCTS MENDELSSOHN at the Bravo Vail Orchestral Series. This spectacular event will take place on Friday, July 19, 2024, at 6pm at the iconic Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater in Vail, Colorado.

Under the baton of the renowned conductor Jaap van Zweden, the New York Philharmonic will present an evening of contrasting Russian works alongside Mendelssohn's cherished Symphony No. 3, also known as the Scottish Symphony. The program will feature Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 1, Shostakovich’s Concerto in C minor for Piano, Trumpet, and Strings, and Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 3. These pieces will showcase the talents of Principal Trumpet Christopher Martin and mark the Bravo Vail debut of pianist Igor Levit.

This performance not only promises to be a night of exquisite music but also an opportunity to explore the inspirations behind these masterpieces. Mendelssohn’s Scottish Symphony, inspired by his visit to Scotland, offers a musical journey that intertwines with the landscapes and sentiments of the region, despite an amusing historical mix-up with his Italian Symphony by Robert Schumann.

Don't miss this opportunity to experience the brilliance of Jaap van Zweden, the New York Philharmonic, and soloists Christopher Martin and Igor Levit in the breathtaking setting of Vail. Secure your tickets now for an evening that promises to be a highlight of the 2024 Orchestral Series at Bravo Vail.
