Guided Musical Hike
Enjoy a guided scenic hike to a stunning concert venue.
About the concert: Edgar Meyer; Caleb Hudson; Jay Campbell; Yoonah Kim. People have dropped everything to hear any one of these musical geniuses on stages like Carnegie Hall, but to hear all of them in this incredible, remote outdoor experience is a once-in-a-lifetime rarity. Seven-time Grammy-winning bassist Edgar Meyer plays his seminal interpretation of solo Bach. Cellist Jay Campbell teams up for the first time ever with Meyer for his original duos; Caleb Hudson and Achilles Liarmakopoulos will break our brains with virtuosic Baroque arrangements; and clarinetist Yoonah Kim will charm us all in Weber’s fiendishly difficult, yet delightfully hilarious, Clarinet Quintet.
About the venue: A guided scenic hike leads adventuresome concertgoers to a secluded canyon to enjoy music chosen to fit the setting. Offering unparalleled musical intimacy and engagement with festival artists.
Notes: This hike requires a moderate level of stamina, agility, and comfort with uneven footing, exposure to sun and other environmental factors. Please contact Rocky Mountaineer with any mobility concerns.

Enjoy a guided scenic hike to a stunning concert venue.
About the concert: 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.

Sierra Hull
This evening, enjoy a concert at the Sorrel River Ranch, along Scenic Byway U-128.
About the concert: Following her energetic 2023 debut in Béla Fleck’s My Bluegrass Heart band, Moab Music Festival welcomes back virtuoso mandolinist and two-time Grammy-nominated artist Sierra Hull. This time, Sierra headlines with her 5-piece band (Shaun Richardson, Avery Merrit, Erik Coveney, Mark Raudabaugh), playing tracks from her first new album in five years, Tip Toe High Wire. In Tip Toe, Sierra has perfected the daring act of stepping into a new, progressive sonic territory while never straying too far from the bluegrass and Americana roots she’s cultivated in her two-decade-plus career.
About the venue: Follow Highway 128, one of the Southwest’s most scenic byways, 17 miles upriver from Moab to the green oasis of this boutique resort. With its spectacular views of towering red mesas, the Pavilion, open to breathtaking sunsets and evening air, is a perfect spot for enjoying music while taking in the dramatic natural surroundings.
