Chamber music festival set for Moab in September

MOAB, Utah — Chamber music masterpieces are on the program for the 17th annual Moab Music Festival, performed outdoors amid the area’s spectacular scenery of red cliffs and the Colorado River.

The concerts will be performed at the Colorado River Grotto, a natural space that the festival organizers call “nature’s perfect concert hall,” and at various other locations. The Sept. 3 concert includes works for strings by Dvorak and Schubert. On Sept. 11, the festival celebrates the 200th birthday of Felix Mendelssohn with performances at the Sorrel River Ranch. Back at the Colorado River Grotto, the Brandenburg Concerto No. 6 is on the schedule for Sept. 14.
