year’s outstanding musicians include: Joel Fan,

Bonfiglio Group (Robert Bonfiglio, Joe Deninzon, and

Richard Belcher, cello), Clare Hoffman, flute;
James Bilagody, vocals/instrumentals; and ETHEL (Cornelius

Our History: The
festival began when founders Robert Bonfiglio (Director)
and Clare Hoffman (Artistic Director) were hiking through
the canyon and the head ranger asked if they would play
a concert for a retiring ranger. They agreed and performed
an impromptu concert at the Cottonwood Campground below
the North Rim. Encouraged by the local community and businesses,
the inaugural season took place in September 1984 and has
grown from three concerts to nine concerts that span a
3-week period. |
