About Shari Turpin:

When she got married, became a mother, and began making her own jewelry, Turpin's frequent world travels furthered that awe of nature and influenced her work.

Pearls by Shari has two locations – one in Jackson and another in Park City, Utah. The company also manages a robust website, with jewelry lines now available at Neiman Marcus.

Grand Teton Music Festival
Sir Donald Runnicles has been Music Director since 2005 of the Grand Teton Music Festival, which draws its musicians from many of North America's top orchestras to the natural beauty of the Grand Tetons in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. He leads four of the festival's seven orchestra weeks and directs and participates as a pianist in the many chamber concerts, recitals, and other activities the festival offers to its local public and visitors who flock to Jackson and nearby Yellowstone Park in the summer.
Grand Teton Music Festival was founded in 1962 by the Jackson Hole Fine Arts Festival to foster classical music experiences for performers and audiences and to improve and enrich the cultural awareness and opportunities for people in Wyoming and the adjacent area. More than 60 years since its humble beginnings performing in a tent at the base of the Tetons, the Festival is now sought after for both listeners and performers alike as a destination to experience the finest in classical music throughout the summer.
The Grand Teton Music Festival Orchestra consists of top talent from across the country, including 250 musicians from 90 orchestras and 65 institutions of higher learning, many performing together each summer for over 25 years. The Festival also welcomes some of the most sought-after soloists and visiting artists in classical music today. Under the baton of world-renowned Music Director Sir Donald Runnicles, these musicians come together to gather inspiration from the mountain setting and to provide spectacular music for Festival audiences.
