April 30, 2009
April 30, 2009, Greencastle, Ind. — Dan Rizner, professor in the DePauw University School of Music, has been invited to perform in the violin section of the Grand Teton Music Festival Orchestra this summer. The 2009 season will mark Rizner's 29th year with the music festival.
Each summer, more than 200 of the finest orchestra musicians from across the nation journey to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to make music together as the Grand Teton Music Festival Orchestra. Many of the musicians of the Festival Orchestra hold principal positions in their home orchestras and come from such esteemed ensembles as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Atlanta Symphony, Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, and the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. Like Rizner, some have been calling Jackson Hole and the Grand Teton Music Festival their summer home for as many as 25 years or more, and return year after year for the collegial atmosphere, and the joy of making music together in spectacular surroundings.
Dan Rizner received a bachelor of music degree from Michigan State University and a master of music degree from Yale University. His 
teachers include Walter Verdehr, Broadus Erle and Syoko Aki. Rizner is a former concertmaster of the Lansing Orchestra. He has performed in the master classes of Franco Gulli, Szymon Goldberg and Dorothy DeLay and has received chamber music coaching from Michael Tree, Adlo Parisot, Raphael Hillyer and Koichiro Harada.
