Music in the Mountains (MiTM) is an annual summer classical music festival located in Durango, Colorado, with additional performances in other regional towns. Performances are held from early July through early August and feature performances by both professional and student artists. The festival was founded by conductor Mischa Semanitzky in 1987 through the support of Fort Lewis College, the Durango Herald, Durango Mountain Resort, Morley Ballantine, and the Bank of Colorado. In 2008 Gregory Hustis, principal horn player for the Dallas Symphony, succeeded Semanitzky as Artistic Director. In the same season, Guillermo Figueroa, conductor of the New Mexico Symphony Orchestra, became the festival's resident conductor and music director. MiTM has announced that violinist Vadim Gluzman will assume the role of Artistic Director in 2025.
