For community members who live in Sun Valley year-round, and those who flock to the recreational opportunities the area provides in the winter, the Sun Valley Music Festival aims to provide an uncommonly rich concert experience. The Winter Concert Series will feature familiar and unfamiliar musical pieces in a refreshingly new environment, exploiting a wide range of acoustic possibilities and encouraging concertgoers to interact and engage with musicians in fresh ways. By up-ending the traditional structure of an orchestral performance, the concerts aim to reinvent what it means to enjoy music together. Stay tuned for details later in 2019. “Our goal is to create an event unlike any other our concertgoers have attended—a shared experience that breaks down the walls between musicians and audience, and re-defines the ways in which classical music can enhance our lives. It won’t feel familiar in every way… but it will be very Sun Valley.” —Alasdair Neale, Music Director I’m speechless. On the drive home, I was racking my brain for an adequate adjective for this evening’s performance and I’m at a total loss. Kudos to everyone for one of the most amazing nights of music in my life. —Patron, Winter Festival 2019

And behind the wheel? Two brothers and founding members Micky Braun (lead vocals and guitar) and Gary Braun (guitar, mandolin, harmonica, and vocals) invigorated and supercharged by a transfusion of new blood from fresh recruits Josh Owen (lead guitar, pedal steel guitar), Joe Fladger (bass), and Bobby Paugh (drums). Micky and Gary, who by their own admission, haven’t been this fired up about playing together since they first rode south from the Whitecloud Mountains of Idaho to stake their claim to Texas and wider Americana music scenes.

Now is your chance to catch ukulele virtuoso, songwriter and rising star, Taimane, in a small, intimate venue before bigger stages beckon. She brings her full palette of artistic color to Ketchum for a one-night-only performance. Born and raised in Hawaii of hapa Samoan descent, Taimane is renowned for both her pyrotechnics on the ukulele and her prowess in using music and movement to paint vibrant images that elicit deep emotional response. Taimane’s performance will feature her band, Jonathan Heraux (percussion) and Ramiro Marziani (classical guitar), as well as a Polynesian dancer. This January in New York, Taimane was one of the biggest buzz artists at the largest performing arts conference in the world. She quickly built additional momentum at the mega SXSW Music Festival in Austin, Texas where National Public Radio (NPR) hailed Taimane as one of the week’s stand-out artists. Every performer in the Winter Performing Arts Series will be performing in local schools as a part of The Center’s ongoing commitment to arts education. The Professional Artist Residencies are supported by Joyce B.

Back in Ketchum for a fourth season, International Guitar Night is celebrating its 20th anniversary and has become the toughest ticket to get on The Center’s performing arts season.

Sun Valley Music Festival Winter Series

Argyros Performing Arts Center

Feb 27 – Feb 29 all-day

12:00 am

Tickets

For community members who live in Sun Valley year-round, and those who flock to the recreational opportunities the area provides in the winter, the Sun Valley Music Festival aims to provide an uncommonly rich concert experience. The Winter Concert Series will feature familiar and unfamiliar musical pieces in a refreshingly new environment, exploiting a wide range of acoustic possibilities and encouraging concertgoers to interact and engage with musicians in fresh ways. By up-ending the traditional structure of an orchestral performance, the concerts aim to reinvent what it means to enjoy music together. Stay tuned for details later in 2019. “Our goal is to create an event unlike any other our concertgoers have attended—a shared experience that breaks down the walls between musicians and audience, and re-defines the ways in which classical music can enhance our lives. It won’t feel familiar in every way… but it will be very Sun Valley.” —Alasdair Neale, Music Director I’m speechless. On the drive home, I was racking my brain for an adequate adjective for this evening’s performance and I’m at a total loss. Kudos to everyone for one of the most amazing nights of music in my life. —Patron, Winter Festival 2019

Bald Mountain

12:00 am

Tickets

Held in memory of former Sun Valley Company owner Bill Janss, the Janss Pro-Am Classic has long held the reputation as the “best party on snow.” Skiers and snowboarders of all abilities join forces with a pro to form a team of six; the squads go head-to-head in a dual giant slalom format on world-famous Bald Mountain. Racing is handicapped to give all participants the opportunity to win, whether they are World Cup racers or recreational skiers. Did we mention costumes? Each Janss Pro-Am Classic event has a theme, and teams are encouraged to dress up and wear their costumes accordingly – on and off the slope. Prizes are awarded for Best Costume, Fastest Pros, Fastest Amateurs, Fastest Team, Lee Gilman Most Inspirational, Best Crash, and Championship Team. Off-slope highlights include a hospitality tent at the base of Warm Springs where we serve breakfast and lunch on both race days, a welcoming cocktail party, gala dinner, and après-ski party and barbecue with live music. The Janss Pro-Am Classic is held in memory of Mr. Bill Janss. A true renaissance man, Janss embodied the best qualities of the American spirit. He was dynamic, intelligent, fearless and kind, and had the vision and ...

Rebecca’s Private Idaho

Various Locations

Sep 3 – Sep 6 all-day

12:00 am

Tickets

Taking place over Labor Day Weekend, Rebecca’s Private Idaho is considered one of the top gravel events in the world, for great reasons: Miles and miles of breathtaking riding across some of the most scenic and challenging terrain on earth; a festive vibe that permeates events both on and off the bike, and a limited (but growing) field of ultra-stoked riders, from enthusiasts to pros, who join their World Champion host Rebecca Rusch to test their mettle on the Queen’s Stage Race, Baked Potato, French Fry, and Tater Tot courses, all on Idaho’s stunning gravel back roads. The best part: Every rider’s entry fee and many of the events open to the public raise funds for Rebecca’s nonprofit Be Good™ Foundation, enriching communities from Idaho to Africa by using the bicycle as a catalyst for healing, empowerment and evolution (local beneficiaries include the Wood River Trails Coalition and Idaho Interscholastic Cycling League). Besides participating in the event or cheering riders on, the general public is welcome to enjoy booths, food, beverages and music at Saturday’s Gear Expo at Forest Service Park and Sunday’s Off-the-Wagon Days celebration at Festival Meadows.
