Golka replaces Lortie in GTMF concerts


American pianist Adam Golka has been selected as soloist replacement for Grand Teton Music Festival’s final orchestra concerts of the 2008 summer season on Friday and Saturday, August 15-16. Golka replaces pianist Louis Lortie who has unexpectedly had to cancel his engagement with the Festival.

Winner of the 2008 Gilmore Young Artist Award and the 2003 China Shanghai International Piano Competition, 21-year-old pianist Adam Golka has performed with major orchestras and festivals throughout the United States. His appearance on these August 15-16 concerts marks his Grand Teton Music Festival debut.

The concert program remains as originally scheduled, with Golka performing Maurice Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major, and featuring the Festival Orchestra under the direction of Music Director Donald Runnicles in the Second Symphony of Sergei Rachmaninoff. Tickets for these and the other remaining concerts of the Festival’s 2008 summer season may be purchased by phone: 307-733-1128 or online at www.gtmf.org
