    Sedona AZ (March 20, 2017) – This 2017 second Piano on the Rocks International Festival, “Voyage Beyond Words” celebrates music and literature from around the globe. A “Voyage Beyond Time” where music, words, sounds and colors travel beyond the frontiers of space. It will take place this month on March 31 and April 1 and 2, 2017 in Sedona.

    Of special interest will be the opportunity for our audiences to taste the richness of composer’s imagination, to hear an extract of the wonderful story of Platero y Yo with Erdely-Sayo’s music presented in Carnegie Hall. Piano on the Rocks International Festival will present masterpieces by Schubert, Debussy, Chopin, Liszt, Obradors, Scriabin, Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, Bach, Bartók, Erdely-Sayo and others surprises. The Festival will open at the Church of the Red Rocks under a beautiful sunset. The subsequent two concerts will be held at the Christ Lutheran Church.

    City Council Weighs ATV Ban Ordinance Proposal
    By Tommy Acosta
    The Sedona City Council at its May 23, 2023 meeting took no action on a proposed ordinance that would ban all off-road vehicles from being driven on state-owned public roads or streets owned by the city. The ordinance, spearheaded by Sedona Mayor Scott Jablow on the premise that such vehicles pose a risk to the health, safety and welfare of the community, would impose heavy fines to anyone driving the ATVs or OHVs on city streets, including S.R. 179 and S.R. 89A. ATV rental companies have admitted that such vehicles are not intended or designed to be driven on paved roads, yet, in Arizona, they are allowed to do so under Arizona Revised Statute 28-1174 (4B). Opponents against the ordinance argued at the meeting that if adopted the ban would cripple the ATV rental industry in Sedona and cause much hardship to the owners and employees, as it would effectively, as written, destroy their livelihood.
