Moab Arts and Recreation Center
In celebration of this landmark year passing the torch of artistic leadership at the Moab Music Festival, join us for a kick-off Opening Night Reception at the Moab Arts & Recreation Center (MARC) with an exhibit tracing 33 years of visionary music and joy born from Directors Emeriti Leslie Tomkins and Michael Barrett's dream. The reception is open from 5:30-7:00 pm with remarks at 6:00 pm. Explore the exhibit, enjoy a snack and drink, and come and go as you please. Free and open to the public.
Following the reception, head around the corner to Star Hall to enjoy a concert featuring classical masterworks that both echo the Festival's inaugural 1992 performance and herald Tessa's exciting new direction. Tickets for the Star Hall concert can be purchased here.
