The incredibly skilled artists, from all over the world, played all kinds of instruments including their voices. The program was started by Michael Barrett and Leslie Tomkins three years ago. They have been coming to Moab every fall since then, and hopefully will continue doing so. Jon Deak is the Moab Music Festival’s composer—in-residence for 1995.

That means we have the potential for another 320 houses being added. That’s a lot of people and a lot of traffic that we don’t have now.
