Just imagine gifted emerging artists and mid-career performers from around the world traveling to Arizona’s red rock country to be mentored.
Those mentors include acclaimed masters; a multi-faceted campus featuring master classes, rehearsals and concert performances in music, dance and drama; and a singular learning environment back-dropped by a world-famous landscape fostering artistic growth and offering arts enrichment opportunities for everyone.
This is the inspiring vision of the new Sedona Conservatory: An International Cultural Center for the Performing and Fine Arts and Humanities, envisioned as an arts enclave destination providing world-class facilities for master teachers, celebrated performing and fine artists and their students. Amid Sedona’s famous red rock spires and monuments, living masters inspire creativity and refine artistic technique through residential master classes, rigorous training and performances.
“We want to bring the very best of the best to the area, a completely integrated environment where students will be both challenged and nurtured, where they will live, learn, rehearse, perform, socialize and engage the larger community,” said Russell Fox, board president for the Sedona Conservatory, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation.
The Conservatory’s Festival Concert Hall will be home to the world’s largest concert hall pipe organ, a marrying of two historic instruments that will be completed on site. Also planned for the campus is a World Center for Indigenous Cultures, a boutique destination hotel, restaurants, shops, luxury townhomes and other arts components. Architectural designer Gerry Jones and architect Bing Hu, AIA, will collaborate on the campus design.
Imagine. Dream. Inspire inspiration. Orchestrate the future of the arts. The Sedona Conservatory is looking for you, an arts enthusiast/philanthropist, to fund the purchase of land and the building of this world-destination campus, perhaps in your name.
“The Sedona Conservatory exists to inspire greatness in human expression, to refine artistic creativity and to celebrate earth’s treasured cultural heritage,” Russell said. “Join us.”
