Ojai Music Festival’s 75 years of adventurous music-making!

For seven decades, the Ojai Music Festival has been a creative laboratory for the special chemistry that results from combining insatiable curiosity with unbounded imagination. The formula is simple: Each year a music director is given the freedom and resources to imagine four days of musical brainstorming. More often this unique blend of enchanted setting and an audience voracious in its appetite for challenge and discovery has inspired a distinguished series of conductors, performers, composers to push at boundaries and stretch limits.
