Learn more about the Musical Raft Trip.
Every September, the award-winning Moab Music Festival brings world-class musicians to stunning red rock venues around Moab, Utah for a feast of chamber music, jazz, and traditional music concerts. We call it "music in concert with the landscape," celebrating old and new chamber music, jazz with a Latin flavor, and traditional music from around the globe.
For the Festival’s unique grotto concerts, audience members travel down the Colorado River in jet boats to an acoustically perfect red rock concert site. After the performance, the audience has a chance to share food and drink with the musicians before boating back to Moab.
Other Festival concerts take place along the Colorado River where concertgoers hear outstanding artists like ETHEL, Synchronicity, Maria Bachmann, Robert Black, Amy Burton, Christopher Layer, Ayano Ninomiya, Axel Strauss, Ian Swensen, Leslie Tomkins, Tanya Tomkins, Paul Woodiel and Eric Zivian perform innovative music programs while enjoying southeast Utah’s world-renowned red rock landscape.
This year the Music Director Michael Barrett has created Masterpieces in the Red Rocks, a retrospective supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, featuring the Composers-in-Residence which have made the Festival such a vital and exciting destination over the past 18 years. Three of those composers, Paquito D' Rivera, John Musto and Kenji Bunch will appear at the Festival as performers.
You'll find plenty of comfortable lodging, fine dining, wineries and breweries and diverse shopping in and around Moab. Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park are minutes away by car. You can hike through wilderness areas or explore the stunning landscape on mountain bikes, in cars or jeeps, floating on a Colorado River raft, or on horseback. Or just sitting.
We are delighted that our 2010 Festival project, Masterpieces in the Red Rocks, a retrospective of Festival Composers-in-Residence programmed at every 2010 Festival concert, is supported by a National Endowment for the Arts American Masterpieces Chamber Music grant.
