Highlights from Bravo! Vail’s 37th Summer Season

When Bravo! Vail Artistic Director Anne-Marie McDermott arranged to include Sinfónica de Minería, Mexico’s acclaimed chamber orchestra, in the summer music festival’s 2024 lineup, it was something of a coup. Not only is the group headed by lauded conductor and artistic director Carlos Miguel Prieto, but it also marks the first time a Latin American guest orchestra will perform at the festival.

“This is an orchestra that has been turning heads for the last several years because of its quality, its enthusiasm, its incredibly diverse background, and the way it makes music,” says Prieto. McDermott agrees. “I don’t like to just bring an ensemble, my priority is that it’s an incredible ensemble,” she explains. “From the minute I started working with Minería, about 10 years ago, I sensed such electricity. They just love making music together.”
