Musical Raft Trip 2009

Leave your cell phone, laptop and Facebook status behind to embark on the 2009 Festival Musical Raft Trip, a 4 day, 3-night custom Colorado River adventure featuring intimate concerts performed by world class musicians in unforgettable river settings. Extend the experience of music in concert with the landscape beginning with the launch of the Musical Raft Trip on September 14, which includes that afternoon’s exhilarating Grotto Concert.

The raft trip continues down the Colorado River through pristine and ethereal canyons under the late summer blue sky. Paul Woodiel and Christopher Layer, as well as a classical player or two, all join this trip and help to create the stirring soundtrack for this memorable experience by performing two additional concerts during the trip. A local naturalist also joins the expedition to lead a series of short, scenic hikes, as well as to provide insight into the history and spectacular geology of Canyon Country. A thrilling run through the whitewater rapids of Cataract Canyon and a once-in-a-lifetime scenic flight back to Moab from Hite Marina on Lake Powell conclude the 2009 Musical Raft Trip.

The trip will take place Monday, September 14 - Thursday, September 17, 2009.  The September 14 Grotto Concert is included in the price of the trip.
