Sun Valley Music Festival
2021 Summer concerts (including the Gala), outreach events, and education programs will take place in-person this summer. Protocols on attending will be available on the Festival website in early July to allow time to address safety needs at the time programming begins.
The hills are alive with the sound of music! Classical music that is! From late July until mid to late-August, the Sun Valley Music Festival (formerly Sun Valley Summer Symphony) dominates the nightlife in the Wood River Valley! These spectacular classical music performances mesmerize both locals and visitors attending. Widely known as the largest, privately funded, free-admission symphony in the US, the SVMF is one of the high points of any Sun Valley summer vacation. There are many ways to enjoy the vibe, the music, and the kick-back, Ketchum casual lifestyle that has drawn all of us to Idaho. There is no question the Music Festival is extraordinary and fun for all!
Sun Valley Opera
Founded in 2001, the Sun Valley Opera promotes opera and the vocal arts. The organization produces both a Winter Festival and several summer events. In addition, the group has arranged for Metropolitan Opera HD Live satellite broadcasts from New York to the community. 2019 brings four new and exciting opera performances to Sun Valley! The Sun Valley Opera’s mission is to provide the highest quality opera, vocal arts and opera education to the Wood River Valley.
