My Heart is in Havana with Paquito D’Rivera

Master Cuban clarinetist and saxophone virtuoso and multi-GRAMMY-winner Paquito D’Rivera returns to Moab with his jazz quintet. Paquito brings the heart of Cuba’s melody, rhythm, and sentiment  to the banks of the Colorado River at Red Cliffs Lodge. MMF strings will join Paquito and his quintet for the rousing finale of the concert. The intermission sunset alone is worth the price of admission!

Formerly an historic Moab ranch, the scenic resort includes the Castle Creek Winery and the Cowboy Grill. This spectacular location and environs have appeared in numerous films and commercials. A free museum honoring the area’s cowboy and film heritage is located on site.
