The Ojai Music Festival Represents an Ideal of Adventurous, Open-minded and Open-hearted Programming in the Most Beautiful and Welcoming of Settings, With Audiences and Artists to Match Its Aspirations. Founded in 1947, the Festival Remains a Hallmark for Groundbreaking Musical Experiences With a Narrative Thread Guided by a Different Music Director. These Annual Directors Are More Than Conductors, Composers, Soloists, or Musicians. They Are Musical Thinkers Who Approach Their Craft With Creativity and Responsibility to the Present Day.
