Fodor's Expert Review Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival

Stretching from late June/early July through early August, the annual Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival is a month-and-a-half-long celebration of classical music. Among the performers in residence for a few days or more than a week are the New York Philharmonic, Dallas Symphony Orchestra, and Philadelphia Orchestra. Chamber-music concerts, many performed by the ensemble-in-residence, are popular events. While main orchestral events are held at Vail’s Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater, you can find chamber music events and free concerts at various venues throughout the Vail Valley.
