DONORS CONCERT + RECEPTION

Donors $500+ are invited to kick off our 2024 season with this intimate concert performed by brilliant Cabrillo Festival musicians and followed by a reception. 

In recognition of the important commitment made by our Annual Fund donors of $500 or more, we are thrilled to reprise our very special Donors Concert.  This intimate gathering allows a more personal opportunity for each of these talented artists to share more of themselves and their virtuosic playing. Cristi Măcelaru and the Cabrillo Festival Board and Staff want to celebrate the extraordinary dedication of our patrons and our orchestra!

Tickets are not required for this event. There will be a welcome/check-in table for donors for $500 or more at the Civic Auditorium doors. You may make your donation any time until doors open!
