Vail, CO (February 10, 2022)– The Bravo! Vail Music Festival (Bravo! Vail) announced its

35th Festival season today, highlighting a compelling mix of classical programming, guest

artists, world premieres, and chamber ensembles. Comprised of more than 60 concerts

throughout Colorado’s Vail Valley, the six-week festival showcases four internationally

acclaimed resident orchestras—The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, the Dallas Symphony

Orchestra, The Philadelphia Orchestra, and the New York Philharmonic—alongside

renowned chamber ensembles and new and familiar voices in composition and artistry.

 

“This season embraces the return of full-scale orchestras, robust programming, family

favorites, and concert series that our audiences have come to love at Bravo! Vail,” said

Artistic Director Anne-Marie McDermott. “We are also balancing this with a deeper

exploration of beloved masterpieces and introduction of relevant new works in the

symphonic and chamber repertoire. I look forward to bringing audiences along on this

inspiring journey.”

 

Bravo! Vail’s 35th season elevates the Festival’s commitment to supporting living

composers and their work through the launch of the New Works Symphonic

Commissioning Project (Symphonic Commissioning Project). As part of this bold

initiative, Bravo! Vail will commission three new works each year for five years, engaging a

wide representation of compositional voices. Premiere performances will take place

during the Festival by Bravo! Vail’s resident orchestras or the selected chamber orchestra,

and some commissioned composers will be on-site to engage with audiences and

participate in educational activities.

 

The 2022 Symphonic Commissioning Project includes world premieres of works by Chris

Rogerson, Katherine Balch, and Carlos Simon, performed by The Saint Paul Chamber

Orchestra, Dallas Symphony Orchestra, and New York Philharmonic, respectively. In

addition to these new symphonic works, eight additional pieces by living composers will

have their Bravo! Vail premieres this season.

 

“We live in a dynamic time, and a greater spectrum of musical voices should be heard,”

commented McDermott. “I am proud of Bravo! Vail’s commitment to engaging a wider

representation of living composers across the entire festival season.”
