About Me


Since 1984, the Grand Canyon Music Festival has been dedicated to bringing the worlds finest musicians to Grand Canyon National Park in celebration of the power and beauty of this magnificent World Heritage site. In 2001, the Festival initiated its Native American Composers Apprentice Project (NACAP) to extend its outreach to training talented Native American students in the art of composition.
