In Partnership with Voice of Wilderness

The primary goal of Voice of Wilderness is to communicate the reality of Jesus Christ and the practical application of the teachings found in the books of the Bible. In a complex society such as ours, man has virtually ignored this vital part of an educational process. We use the wilderness setting as a tool to relate Biblical principles to the everyday needs of the individual. God used the wilderness to deal with His people; Moses, Elijah, David, John the Baptist, and Jesus were all led into the solitude of their natural environments to reflect and develop.
Where life is basic, man is more likely to realize his need for dependence on his Creator. Here, an individual can see God's creation and understand more of His power. Free from day to day distractions, one can clearly examine the life Christ claimed to give.
The wilderness is truly a voice that declares God's "invisible attributes, eternal power and divine nature." (Romans 1:20)

Founders, History, and Vision
Mission - An exclusive chamber music festival located in Pagosa Springs CO featuring musicians of the highest caliber. Based at the Mountain Light Lodge, this week long festival of chamber music seeks to inspire and engage audiences in Pagosa Springs CO. Students will discover their true musical identity and find purpose in their creative pursuits while working alongside world class faculty.

History:
This is the fifth year of the Mountain Light Music Festival. The festival was featured as a trombone summit in 2015 with students and faculty from SMU, Rice, University of Houston, Houston Grand Opera, Baylor, University of Texas El Paso, University of Alabama and more. We are excited to present the Mountain Light Festival Trombone Choir at Keyah Grande on Friday August 6th, 2021. We needed to stay home in 2020 but can't wait to be back in the mountains this August.
The Baylor Brass was in residency in 2017 and 2018 and performed concerts for the Cade Mountain Community at the Mountain Light Lodge and performed to a sold out audience at the Wyndham Resort, Pagosa Lakes Property Owners Association Club House and Community United Methodist Church. We are grateful to our sponsors: Pagosa Springs Sun, Choke Cherry Tree, Click Printing, Three Chicks and a Hippy, Voice of Wilderness, Bookends, Pagosa Springs Area Chamber, and Airport Self-Storage. We are looking for long-term underwriters to help this festival continue its growth and bring other instrumental genres to Pagosa.
Vision:
I sincerely believe that with your help, we can build a world class venue in Pagosa Springs and host a uniquely intimate and inspiring summer long music festival. Pagosa will be the summer home of world class faculty and students who will live here and perform in our homes, at the Mountain Light Lodge, Keyah Grande, the Springs, and ultimately on a newly built summer stage! Imagine sponsoring a string quartet or a jazz trio, or underwriting a symphony orchestra and top tier soloist, and being a part of this exciting startup here in Pagosa!
We believe in mentoring students and building community at Mountain Light Music. I have been fortunate to teach many talented young musicians who have gone on to great success. MLMF is unique because our mission is one of spiritual value. Students discover how to place their trust in what is eternal, rather than a position or a title. We play music because we are inspired - not because we want attention. Help me share these truths about performance, art, community, and the gift of music with these wonderful students.
