The new ticket price is an experiment to attract bigger and more diverse winter audiences to the
nearly 50 year-old Festival, whose past winter concerts have cost between $20-40. “Given the
educational mission of our winter concerts, and our direct contact with the schools, we wanted our
winter concerts to be accessible to as many people as possible,” said Amanda Flosbach, GTMF’s
Director of Marketing “We received so many requests the past two winters for our summertime $10
Locals Rush tickets that we thought, why not offer the $10 price across the board this winter, and
welcome students for free?”
As always, the Grand Teton Music Festival’s winter concerts are a vital component of the Festival’s
in-school education programs, bringing visiting artists into local classrooms. Each visiting
ensemble will spend several days working with valley youngsters, from assemblies at Wilson, Journeys, Jackson, and Alta elementary schools to workshops with music students at the Jackson Hole Middle and High Schools.
