Mountain Light Music Festival Concert & Reception @ Mountain Light Lodge
Mountain Light Lodge
Pagosa Springs, Colorado
This summer, the Mountain Light Music Festival will again return to Pagosa Springs featuring music students and faculty from around the country. We are a non-profit chamber music festival that has been operating in Pagosa since 2015. We have hosted students and faculty from prestigious conservatories and universities around the country. We have hosted the Wayne Fisher Jazz Ensemble from Baylor, trombone students from around the country and our plans are to grow the festival into a multi week residency with chamber orchestra, classical, and contemporary niche pop and instrumental music.
This concert is free and open to the public (donations accepted but not required). Bring your ATV/Side by Side and explore the Voice of Wilderness Base Camp - home of the Mountain Light Lodge. ATV parking and concert viewing available! 6pm.
