We love Bravo! Vail, and always have. The Antlers at Vail has been hosting Bravo! musicians since the second year the festival in existence. But we’re not biased in saying that Bravo! Vail is a highlight of Vail summers. The only music festival in North America to host three world’s-best orchestras in the same season, the iconic series was named one of “10 Can’t Miss Classical Music Festivals” by NPR, which led with the line “If musical heaven is overdosing on orchestras, Bravo! Vail is the place to be.” This summer Vail visitors can join the fun, spreading out tasty picnic fixings and mingling with neighbors while enjoying internationally famous orchestral strains with a new “Bravo! Like a Local” package from Antlers at Vail hotel. And not incidentally, the Antlers also plays home-away-from-home to Bravo! celebs, giving guests an extra insider’s take on the festivities.
The Antlers at Vail’s “Bravo! Like a Local” package offers general admission (lawn seating) tickets for two – or four for families with kids – and a gourmet picnic to enjoy on the lawn. Package rates are $289 per night (two-night minimum) for a one-bedroom condominium suite – or a comfortable one-bedroom with additional bunks, if the kids come along.
The 2015 Bravo! Vail season runs July 1 – Aug. 6, 2015, with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra in residence with performances July 1 – 8, the Philadelphia Orchestra performing July 10 – 18, and the New York Philharmonic July 24 – 31, with performances held at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater. Bravo! also includes a long-running Chamber Music Series, performed in more intimate settings. And for those making their Bravo! visit a family affair, the music series offers experiential events for children including “Instrument Petting Zoos” and Little Listeners at the Library events.
