FROM THE DIRECTOR.
The Vail Institute is serving the Vail area in a
unique way by bringing performing arts activities
and sponsoring programs for the benefit of local
residents and visitors during the summer months.
From tiny operating budget in 1973, the Institute
has grown into a full-blown summer-long
schedule encompassing virtually all aspects of
the performing arts. Community attendance
and support has been overwhelming
This year's program includes the return of such
popular favorites as the Denver Symphony
Orchestra and Up With People, as well as the
addition of some exciting new performers such
as the Aman Folk Ensemble of California
James M. Slevin
Gibson Gardner
and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band of New
Orleans. We are especially pleased to include
classical guitarist Carlos Montoya and Mr.
William Windom's one-man Thurber show as
highlights of the season.
