Great music, performed well, is for everyone.
âAnd I believe everyone deserves it,â insisted Meaghan Heinrich, education curator for the Grand Teton Music Festival. âAnd that everyone has the capacity to understand it.â
It takes matching the right piece of music with the right audience â and tailoring the way itâs presented to the target audienceâs world.
âIf I go into a fifth grade classroom and play Beethovenâs 7th, some students might like it,â said Heinrich. âBut if I go in and have them teach me a TikTok chant they know and we notate it and we see that the rhythm is the same as the rhythm of the main motive of Beethovenâs 7th,â well, then, she said, listeners not only have a basis on which to understand and appreciate Beethoven, but they can listen to their own music on a deeper level and appreciate it even more.
A Zoom with grandpa, a negative virus test result, the mastery of a new skill: Such hopeful notes were essential to weathering the prolonged COVID-19 limbo of the past year.

Teton County isnât quite out of the coronavirus woods, but it looks like there may be a clearing up ahead, and it could be just the right place to hold a music festival.
Summer 2020, aka the Summer That Wasnât, was a bust for nearly all of the regionâs arts and entertainment events. Last April and May, as the seriousness of the pandemic began to become apparent, festivals that had for years, even decades, seemed as constant as the Teton Range went into COVID-induced isolation. Even the outdoors wasnât considered safe. From the Music on Main series to the Grand Teton Music Festival, the coronavirus felled them all.
