2026 Program Guide | Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music

64 CABRILLO FESTIVAL OF CONTEMPORARY MUSIC 2026 Artistic risk is an essential part of Cabrillo Festival’s mission to bring audiences the innovative, the unexpected, and the new, and the level of risk we can take is directly proportional to the size of our Artistic Initiative Reserve (AIR) Fund. Established in 1999, with a special gift from an anonymous donor, the fund enables us to pursue special ventures, ambitious commissions, and supports the long-term vitality of the organization. We are grateful to the hundreds of donors whose cumulative giving to this special fund reflects their understanding of the importance of underpinning the Festival’s annual budget with additional reserves. The force of their conviction has helped the fund grow and has provided a buffer against uncertainties. Please consider joining these visionary donors with a gift of any amount. You can make a lasting impact and help secure our future!
