2024 Program Guide

2024 Summer Concert Season

This concert season at Tippet Rise includes five weekends of classical and co ntemporary chamber concerts featuring four world premieres and three Tippet Rise commissions, more than 30 outstanding musicians, and the inauguration of the Geode—a new outdoor performance venue. Thank you for joining us in celebrating music and art beneath the beautiful Montana sky.

Co-Founders, Cathy and Peter Halstead

Cathy and Peter Halstead have known each other since they were 16. Cathy is an abstract painter whose work explores the similarities between the infinitesimal and the infinite, between the repetition of invisible but essential patterns in nature. Examples of her work are available online at cathyhalstead .com.

Peter is a pianist, photographer, novelist, and poet. He has published 11 volumes of poems, as well as the novel Bug the Great. He recently published A Winter Ride, which combines prose, photos, and poetry to create a sense of the anticipation of winter in Montana. Tippet Rise Beginnings captures through photos and text the explorations which led to Tippet Rise. His six-album piano series The Himalaya Sessions will be online this year. Four eBooks of his Himalayan photos are available on the Tippet Rise website, as is Brahms in the Mountains

In addition to Tippet Rise, Cathy and Peter are founders of the Adrian Brinkerhoff Poetry Foundation, which gathers poems from across places, eras, and traditions for audiences worldwide. They are also trustees of the Sidney E. Frank Foundation, which makes grants in climate, education, and the arts. Cathy is on the board of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, of Storm King Art Center, and trustee emeritus of Brown University.

Cathy and Peter have two wonderful daughters and two adorable grandchildren.

Artistic Advisor, Pedja

Mužijević

Pedja Mužijević is a pianist and curator and has been the artistic advisor since 2018.

He has defined his career with creative programming and lasting collaborations with artists and ensembles performing with the Atlanta Symphony, Dresden Philharmonic, New Jersey Symphony, Residentie Orkest in The Hague, St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, and Shinsei Nihon Orchestra in Tokyo.

Pedja has played solo recitals at Alice Tully Hall, 92Y and The Frick Collection in New York, Terrace Theater at Kennedy Center, Dumbarton Oaks and Phillips Collection in Washington, DC, Casals Hall and Bunka Kaikan in Tokyo.

Pedja’s interdisciplinary projects include touring with Mikhail Baryshnikov throughout the United States, South America, Europe, and Asia and with Simon Keenlyside in Trisha Brown’s staged version of Schubert’s Winterreise at Lincoln Center in New York, Barbican in London, La Monnaie in Brussels, Opéra Nationale de Paris, as well as Holland, Lucerne, and Melbourne festivals.

Pedja is the artistic administrator at Baryshnikov Arts in New York, and he also directs workshops around the world, from Verbier Festival Academy and Banff Center to Colburn and Longy schools, in which he looks at the concert experience, both in programming and presentation, in an attempt to make it more accessible and relevant today.
