Thank you for another incredible season!

What a remarkable season of celebration! We’re sending big thanks to our devoted audience, Cristi and the Festival Orchestra, community partners, donors, volunteers, and our invaluable behind-the-scenes team for helping make all we do possible. We are honored by your dedication to new music for orchestra and the Cabrillo Festival. Save the dates for 2024- JULY 28-AUG 11!

But we’re not done yet for this year! Join us this November for the California Festival, a new two-week, statewide music initiative showcasing the most compelling and forward looking voices in performance of works written in the past five years.  Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music is proud to participate with an online forum moderated by Music Director and Conductor Cristian Măcelaru on November 11. He’s gathering a band of featured composers from our 2023 season for a lively discussion reflecting on their Festival experience, community engagement, and the breadth of new music that was presented this season. We’ll feature performance clips from rehearsals and concerts of the 2023 season, and questions will be welcomed from the viewing audience. The event is free and will be held online.  Registration is required.
