33rd Annual Moab Music Festival

The award-winning Moab Music Festival makes music in concert with the landscape® and is noted for its distinctive programming, superb performances, and intimate concert experiences of chamber music old and new, jazz, and Latin music. MMF presents approximately twenty concerts during its two-week festival. The star-studded roster of artists perform at a variety of venues from private ranches and homes, the charming Star Hall, and outdoor “venues” unlike any other festival in the world. Outdoor venues include a pristine Colorado River wilderness grotto reached by jet boat; a low-speed, open-air boat; and numerous hikes to “hidden” surprise locations in and around Moab. Completing the Festival is a Cataract Canyon multi-day Musical Rafting Trip. The Festival was founded in 1992 by New York-based musicians violist and Artistic Director Emerita Leslie Tomkins and pianist/conductor and Music Director Emeritus Michael Barrett. They were instantly captivated by the red rocks of Moab, and were inspired to combine the magical landscape with the joys of music-making. Now in its 33rd year, the Moab Music Festival welcomes newly appointed Artistic Director Tessa Lark.
