33rd Annual Moab Music Festival
Schedule of Events
7:45 am: Music Hike II: Catharsis Canyon
Escape the daily grind and find solace in the quiet beauty of Moab’s canyons, where sublime music meets breathtaking wilderness. Beethoven’s Heiliger Dankgesang, written in gratitude after recovering from a life-threatening illness, radiates a sense of exalted transcendence, making it a favorite for moments of reflection (and a top choice for Desert Island Disc lists). Violist Jessica Bodner performs a work by Tessa Lark, similarly composed to help her during a time of personal grief, while Bach’s luminous E Major Violin Partita dances through the canyon walls. Entrancing Irish and Danish folk melodies rounds out this program, heightening the sense of peace and quietude that only nature can provide.
