Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music

The Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music is thrilled to announce the return of its cherished free Family Concert, taking place on Sunday, August 4th at 1 PM at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium. This year, the festival welcomes back the talented composer Greg Smith with his delightful symphonic exploration titled "VIBE." Known for his family-friendly compositions, Smith's work has become a mainstay in the genre, with many of his previous works premiering on the Festival stage.

After a four-year hiatus, the Family Concert promises an engaging and interactive afternoon perfect for concertgoers of all ages. It's an ideal opportunity to introduce children to the magic of live music in a fun and interactive setting. Attendees will enjoy a "Tour of the Orchestra," where families can learn about different instruments directly from members of the Cabrillo Festival Orchestra.

Donations are vital to keep these educational programs thriving. Your generosity helps bring the joy of music to families who might not otherwise have access, nurturing a lifelong love of music in future generations. Join us for an unforgettable experience that celebrates music, family, and community.
