Entering in its 75th anniversary season, the Ojai Music Festival connects world-renowned artists and audiences in performances and conversations that push limits, risk failures, and spark surprise. The Festival nurtures musicians, composers, and artists who shape the music of our time. Ojaiโs spirit of innovation and informality draws audiences who are specifically eager for experiences beyond the norm of standard classical musical performances.
