Event Details

Taj Mahal Quartet, and Marc Cohn featuring special guest vocalists Blind Boys of Alabama. The Institute will present three award-winning musical acts in one night. Mahal’s more than five decades of recording and touring have reshaped and redefined the scope of the blues. The two-time Grammy winning singer, songwriter, film composer, guitarist and multi-instrumentalist has performed all over the world, collaborating with Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Wynton Marsalis—among many others.

Cohn is known for weaving vivid, detailed tales that evoke universal human feelings—love, hope, faith, joy and heartbreak. Time magazine called him “one of the honest, emotional voices we need in this decade.” His recent work with the Blind Boys of Alabama yielded a Grammy-nominated song, “Let My Mother Live.” Cohn’s live shows highlight what he does best: infuse American music with both a fresh perspective and a reverence for its roots.

Organizer

Park City InstitutePark City Institute (formerly Park City Performing Arts Foundation) is a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to bringing world-class performances and innovative ideas to the community we serve. Founded in 1998, PCI introduces emerging artists, welcomes celebrated musicians, produces award winning theater and creates intimate opportunities for Park City to experience and engage with the world’s most creative, inspiring, thoughtful and provocative minds. We currently produce two seasons worth of programming - summer’s St. Regis Big Stars, Bright Nights concert series and the fall/winter Main Stage series at the George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Center for the Performing Arts – in addition to more intimate events such as our Curiosities Dinners, workshops and retreats. DONATE As an intentionally lean organization committed to investing the majority of our annual budget directly into the talent we invite to our stages, PCI relies on the continued support of our sponsors, donors, members and patrons. Because of their generosity and shared belief that arts and culture are the backbone of any strong community, PCI is able to ensure equitable access to all its programming by way of free tickets for Park City’s underserved. PCI champions education by creating experiential classroom learning opportunities through which Park City School District students directly engage, collaborate and create with the speakers, musicians and performers we host.435-655-3114 boxoffice@parkcityinstitute.org
