AUDIO: Arizona Encore

On this episode of Arizona Encore, we’ll celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Grand Canyon Music Festival. What started almost as a fluke flute performance during a canyon hike in 1982 has now become a forward-thinking institution with equal commitments to music education and to outstanding performances by professional musicians. String quintets, quartets and trios from the 2022 festival.
