Moab Music Festival: Grotto Concert I: Beethoven in the Arches

"Take a jet boat down the Colorado River through spectacular red rock canyons to 'nature’s own concert hall' – an acoustically perfect wilderness Grotto carved from the surrounding red rock walls. Virtuosos Jason Vieaux, guitar, and Kristin Lee, violin, open the concert with Bach, The Red Violin, and a duo by Vivian Fung. The Junction Trio creates a contrasting sonority with Beethoven’s majestic Archduke Trio. The last of his piano trios, the Archduke, exhibits the profound nobility, breadth, and depth that define Beethoven’s later works. A light reception with the artists precedes the glorious boat ride home."
