The Strad: Bravo! Vail launches re-imagined summer festival following May cancellation

The Strad

The Bravo! Vail Music Festival has announced a re-imagined summer season from 16 July - 6 August 2020 in Eagle County, Colorado. On the agenda are outdoor concerts in the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater, a mobile performance stage bringing music to local communities, and online educational presentations. The festival re-launch follows the cancellation of all originally planned events in May 2020 due to coronavirus. 

The new programme features seven chamber music performances at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater, including appearances by the Dover Quartet in Brahms, Haydn, Dohnányi, Mendelssohn and Barber; violinist and founding festival director Ida Kavafian and pianist and current festival director Anne-Marie McDermott in Beethoven’s complete Violin and Piano Sonatas; and violist Paul Neubauer and pianist Amy Yang in Schubert’s Arpeggione Sonata. All seven of the concerts are open to a limited capacity audience and subject to social distancing regulations.
