The six-week-long festival begins in late June and ends in early August. Programming consists of chamber music, classical music, and pops concerts provided by the
Dallas Symphony Orchestra,
The Philadelphia Orchestra, the
New York Philharmonic, and an international guest chamber orchestra with chamber music ensembles. London's acclaimed
Academy of St Martin in the Fields, led by violinist
Joshua Bell, was the first international chamber orchestra to have a residency at Bravo! Vail. In 2019, the Chamber Orchestra Vienna – Berlin, featuring German violinist
Anne Sophie Mutter, opened the Bravo! Vail season in their North American debut. The
Academy of St Martin in the Fields returned for a three-night residency in 2023, and in 2024, Bravo! Vail welcomed its first Latin American chamber orchestra, Mexico City's Sinfónica de Minería, with its Artistic Director Carlos Miguel Prieto. ==Performance venues==
