The New York Philharmonic wrapped up its 16th annual residency at @bravovail. 1) Bass Trombone George Curran warms up in the beautiful little garden behind the brass and percussion. 2) The Gerald R. Ford amphitheater is nestled at the base of Vail Mountain. This year we performed to capacity crowds on gorgeous nights like this! 🌄 3) Hans Graf (left), Concertmaster Frank Huang, and Louis Lortie share a moment backstage before they took the stage for Ravel’s Piano Concerto for the Left Hand. 4) Very Young Composers of Vail culminated their 10-day workshop with two performances of the participants’ new pieces. Philharmonic violist Peter Kenote and trumpet Thomas Smith along with musicians from the area helped bring the composers’ pieces to life! 5) @joshuaweilerstein led sister @alisaweilerstein in a stellar performance of Elgar’s Cello Concerto. 6) As is tradition we ended the final concert of our residency wishing retiring musicians well. This year we say goodbye and thank you to Vladimir Tsypin after 35 years with the Philharmonic. #nyphilharmonic #nyphil #trombone #composers #piano #cello #orchestra #violin #nypvail (at Gerald R.
