Bravo! Vail released details of its 2018 season this week. Each year, the classical music festival in the Vail Valley serves as a summer home for four standout orchestras: the New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, Dallas Symphony and Academy of St. Martin in the Fields Chamber Orchestra.
The list of soloists appearing with those powerhouse symphonies this year includes pianists Helene Grimaud, Jean-Yves Thibaudet and Daniil Trifonov, violinist Augustin Hadelich and cellist Alisa Weilerstein.
There’s also a series of chamber music nights featuring musicians from those symphonies, as well as appearances by ensembles like the Dover String Quartet and the vocal group Roomful of Teeth.
