Grand
Canyon Music Festival will present
its 25th season from September 5, 2008, to September 21, 2008, with
weekend and mid-week concerts in Grand Canyon National Park.
The Festival will also conduct its annual outreach tour
at Grand Canyon
School and to Native American reservation schools in Arizona.
Grand Canyon Music Festival is an annual three-week series of
concerts held in Grand Canyon National Park that emphasizes the
broad diversity of chamber music, focuses on programming and presentation
excellence, and celebrates the environment of this majestic World
Heritage Site. Musicians of national and international standing
are drawn to the Festival because of the high quality of musicianship,
the sophistication of its leadership, and the inspiration of the
Canyon itself.
Founded in 1983, the Grand Canyon Music Festival brings world-renowned
artists to Arizona for performances, outreach, and education
programs in rural and underserved Arizona communities, at affordable
admission prices.
