Moonlight Concert Series: Cresta Alta Film Tour w/ Live Music by Salem

The Gunnison Arts Center is excited to present a special evening in collaboration with The Risan Project, featuring their groundbreaking Cresta Alta Film Tour.

This unique event combines breathtaking expedition-based climate documentaries, engaging discussions on sustainability, and a high-energy live concert.

The evening begins with a screening of Northward, a short documentary chronicling the origin of Colorado-based band Salem while touring the backcountry of Alaska, followed by Cresta Alta, an awe-inspiring film that takes viewers on a journey to Alaska, Iceland, Chile, and Peru.

Through glaciological research expeditions and sustainability initiatives, Cresta Alta sheds light on the global ecological impacts of climate change, offering hope through viable solutions.

Following these engaging films, the evening culminates with a concert by Salem, whose socially-conscious compositions blend alternative rock, world, hip-hop, jazz, and neo-soul. Salem’s members, snowboarders and skiers at heart, bring an authentic connection to the mountain lifestyle and environmental advocacy, creating a deeply resonant experience for attendees.

With a focus on global environmental storytelling and a commitment to socially-conscious music, this collaboration offers a one-of-a-kind evening of film, conversation, and live music.

Ticket: $30/person, $25/GAC members.
