Cancellations

The Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music, America’s longest running festival of new orchestral music, has canceled its 2020 Season, scheduled for July 26 – August 9 in Santa Cruz.

The cancellation is the first in the festival’s 58-year history.

“The Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music distinguishes itself not just by the music we play, but by the unique sense of intimacy and connection we create among our musicians, our audiences, our staff and volunteers,” said Executive Director Ellen Primack. “That sense of intimacy is at the core of who we are. Our artists travel from across the country and globe and stay in homes with members of our community, making us especially vulnerable. In turn, we feel a special sense of responsibility to safeguard those we hold most dear to us.”

The festival has been at the forefront of presenting new music, bringing together audiences with preeminent and emerging composers, an orchestra of dedicated professional musicians, and renowned guest artists from across the globe to give voice to works that are rarely more than a year or two old. It’s 2020 Season, led by Grammy Award-winning music director and conductor Cristian Măcelaru, was brimming with timely, topical, and thought-provoking new works.

Subscription holders may donate their tickets as a tax-deductible gift to the Festival, or receive a full refund.
