Silver Oak and Twomey Series July 29, 30 and 31: The Silver Oak & Twomey series is designed to create a new atmosphere for listening—relaxed, elegant, intimate, and enveloped by the beauty of the outdoors. It encourages both guest and performers to mingle over great food and Silver Oak and Twomey wines, which creates a sense of openness, receptivity, and good spirit. Every ticket includes two complimentary glasses of Silver Oak and Twomey wine and appetizers.

Community Engagement and Education Events All Season Long: Bravo! Vail offers several ways for concert goers and community members to enhance their Bravo! Vail experience.  From Little Listeners @ the Library for young children, Pre-Concert Talks to educate audiences on the evening’s repertoire, or Music on the Move with roving musicians popping up to perform throughout Vail Village, there’s certainly a little something extra for everyone!

Vail Symposium June 26: Vail Symposium Presents “Get Your Head in the Game” featuring Dallas Symphony Orchestra principal flautist Demarre McGill and former Denver Bronco Reggie Rivers. McGill and Rivers will detail their thoughts before they take the stage, or before the game, and how they reflect on their performance after the final bow or whistle. In this intimate discussion of pressure, focus, and mentality, McGill and Rivers will discuss the struggle to perform and how they consistently come out on top.
