Music in the Rockies

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Music in the Rockies was a week-long festival, with a combination of seminars, competitions, concerts, and events related to Contemporary Christian Music, other kinds of Christian music, and the Christian music business industry. It has been replaced by a new event called Immerse.[1]

History[]

The event started in 1975 as Seminar in the Rockies, launched by Christian Artists' Corp's president .[2][3][4]

In 2000, the Gospel Music Association (GMA) began to take over the event.[5]

In 2004, they changed the event's name to GMA Music in the Rockies.[6][7]

The event/festival was previously held at YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park, Colorado.

Both "Music in the Rockies" and "Seminar in the Rockies" had a series of concerts in the evenings, with some notable performers and attendees. The 34th annual event was held from August 3 to August 9, 2008.

In 2009, the event was replaced by a new event called Immerse.[8]

Immerse is put on by the Gospel Music Association and LifeWay Christian Resources.[9][10]

Immerse features a series of seminars. It also has a competition section that is broken down into several categories, and an overall winner is determined. It is held in the United States in Nashville, Tennessee.
