year’s outstanding musicians

Farris, viola; Dorothy Lawson, cello), Cabiria Jacobsen, mezzo-soprano;

Our History: The
festival began when founders Robert Bonfiglio (Founding 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.
