Bravo! Vail is an annual classical music festival held in Vail, Colorado. Its current artistic director is Anne-Marie McDermott.
The six-week-long festival begins in late June and ends in early August. Programming consists of chamber music, classical music, and pops concerts provided by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, The Philadelphia Orchestra, the New York Philharmonic, and an international guest chamber orchestra with chamber music ensembles.[1]
London's acclaimed Academy of St Martin in the Fields, led by violinist Joshua Bell, was the first international chamber orchestra to have a residency at Bravo! Vail. In 2019, the Chamber Orchestra Vienna – Berlin, featuring German violinist Anne Sophie Mutter, opened the Bravo! Vail season in their North American debut. The Academy of St Martin in the Fields returned for a three-night residency in 2023, and in 2024, Bravo!
