    An Elephant, a Swan, a Dove and a Jaguar will join artists from around the world during the First Piano on the Rocks International Festival

    logo_pianoontherocksSedona AZ (April 11, 2016) – This 2016 first Piano on the Rocks International Festival, “From Paris to Sedona” celebrates great music by French composers and composers who lived in Paris. It will take place this week on April 15,16, 17, 2016 in Sedona.

    Of special interest will be the opportunity for our audiences to taste the richness of Parisian artistic life during the 1830s when Paris was a center of the new Romanticism. Piano on the Rocks will present masterpieces by Franck, Debussy, Ravel, Poulenc, Chopin, Liszt, Thalberg and Erdely-sayo and others.

These three concerts will feature international pianist and artistic director of the Festival : Sandrine Erdely-Sayo — described as electrifying by the Philadelphia Inquirer and winner of international competitions– and Helene Tysman, pianist, laureate of the Warsaw International Chopin Piano Competition.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
