Piano Fellows
Each year, Artistic Director Anne-Marie McDermott personally selects two young pianists to spend an immersive two weeks at Bravo! Vail, performing in varied programs for diverse audiences with the esteemed musicians of the Festival.
Bravo! Vail strives to enhance the health and vibrancy of the performing arts field through professional development. The Bravo! Vail Piano Fellows program allows two up-and-coming pianists, selected by Bravo! Vail Artistic Director Anne-Marie McDermott, unparalleled access to the orchestra and other renowned Festival musicians, and the opportunity to collaborate and perform with other artists. Additionally, Bravo! Vail is proud to showcase outstanding chamber musicians and ensembles in the early stages of major professional careers. All these young artists benefit immeasurably by performing, teaching, and learning throughout the Vail community, in concert and collaboration.
