New Patrons
“It was marvelous! My friend and I plan to make this an annual excursion from now on.”
“Part of the charm was not the music but rather the people – artists and audience both – and the lovely surroundings.”
“Ojai is a magical place, and the Libbey Bowl is a fantastic venue”
“We loved every concert. Amazing, diverse, programming. Bravo, Ojai Music Festival and Vijay Iyer!”
Returning Patrons
“It was great as always–nothing like it in the U.S.”
“This festival was exceptional in that it was not only amazing, but amazing in so many different areas and ways– from premiers, to some classics, to jazz, Indian music, and Mozart.”
“It was intellectually stimulating as well as filled with beautiful sounds.”
“It was a brilliant combination of different musical flavors.”
“In my experience, year after year the Festival just keeps getting better.”
“Superb festival; explanations and rationale for choices of material were presented clearly and masterfully by Chris Hailey, vocally in the pre-concerts, and in writing in the booklet.”
“Overall I was quite stimulated by the festival and congratulate you and Vijay for all that it was. Courageous on your part- it definitely pushed the boundaries and inspired me.”
“The highlights were spectacular–among the best in our near 20 years participation.”
“Really challenging music this year, and thus especially worthwhile – I really appreciate the risk-taking spirit of the Festival, and the very important themes you address each year about the role of music, and the arts more broadly, in sustaining community.”
“The overall festival experience (the attentiveness of the crowd, the warmth of all the staff and volunteers, the community feel) was very positive and I plan to return next year.”
