Red Rock Rondo: Zion Canyon Song Cycle
Friday, November 1, 7:30pm
part of DOCUTAH
The Lorraine Boccardo Theater
Red Rock Rondo explores this spectacular place and its people through their stories put to
music by Phillip Bimstein, former mayor of Springdale, Utah, which borders the Park, weaving
together the contemporary and historical, creating a rich portrait of this spectacular place and
the people whose lives are so intricately connected to and affected by it. These songs cover the
pioneering of Virgin River Valley by Mormon settlers in the mid-19th century, the founding of
Zion National Park in the 20th century, and up to modern times where retirees, artists and
urban refugees have come to find their own piece of paradise.
