The Fabulous Philadelphians offer a thrilling start to their Vail season, joined by an “extraordinarily intelligent, soulful and impassioned” (The Strad) superstar violinist and culminating with Dvorák's joyfully exuberant portrait of Bohemian spirit.

The “strikingly imaginative” (Boston Globe) Nicholas Angelich makes his Vail debut with one of Beethoven's greatest creations, and Mahler's nature-inspired melodies reach to the heavens for a truly out-of-this-world experience.

Principal Guest Conductor Stéphane Denève leads the Fabulous Philadelphians on a grand musical tour, featuring the “unassailable artistry” (Cleveland Plain Dealer) of Bravo! favorite Jean-Yves Thibaudet in the vividly exotic “Egyptian” concerto.

A Bravo! Vail tradition takes on a new adventure! As dusk descends, follow Indiana Jones on his famous quest while the Fabulous Philadelphians perform John Williams' epic score live. Grab a blanket and some popcorn and bring the whole family for this unique Bravo! experience.

Musical America's 2018 Instrumentalist of the Year Augustin Hadelich returns to Vail with Barber's explosively brilliant concerto, and Brahms's Haydn Variations are nothing less than inspired perfection.

Daniil Trifonov, whose stunning surprise debut electrified audiences last season, returns to Vail with Rachmaninoff's First Piano Concerto, the high-spirited heart of an enchanting program filled with mythological romance and fairy-tale charms.

The breathtaking range of Russia's most beloved cultural export, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, is on display to open our 2018 summer season with The Philadelphia Orchestra. Elegant and fiery, soulful and triumphant, Tchaikovsky's music captures the longing of the human spirit and celebrates the vitality only music can extol. His most popular opera, Eugene Onegin, centers this program, a story of love and loss first immortalized by Pushkin in his novel of the same name.

Celebrate the 100th birthday of Leonard Bernstein in our signature festival concert featuring his most treasured works. The program includes excerpts from On the Town, Peter Pan, Candide, and Gershwin's jazz-infused Rhapsody in Blue, a seminal composer in his own right who was a significant influence for Bernstein.

The Mann Center will present the world premiere of a newly commissioned work South Side, Symphonic Dances by acclaimed American composer Darin Atwater.

The saying "Only in America" easily describes the brilliant career of George Gershwin. Born in Brooklyn in 1898 as the son of Russian-Jewish immigrants, Gershwin brought the thrilling worlds of jazz and Broadway into the concert hall and opera house. The serious and the playful make this concert a true portrait of this multi-talented American whose music is heard now in every corner of the world.

A travel enthusiast, Gershwin's Cuban Overture and An American in Paris are among the best musical postcards ever written.
