Overlooking the grand Colorado River, this American Collage program traces 250 years of American sound—restless, inventive, and unmistakably its own. Voices from across the nation’s musical roots intersect in a celebration of jazz-inflected rhythms, folk-inspired melodies, and the bold lyricism of iconic chamber works that capture the American spirit in all its contradictions. Composer-in-residence Andrew Yee’s commissioned work will also be showcased

About the venue: Perched on the Colorado River and set against towering red rock walls, Red Cliffs Lodge is a spectacular location for an outdoor evening concert. The stage is set on an expansive lawn adjacent to the Colorado; bring a chair, spread your blanket on the lawn or find a spot in the provided seating area and enjoy the music as the sun sets at this beautiful venue.
