2026 Program Guide | Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music

CABRILLO MUSIC.ORG 7 VISION & MISSION As a powerful manifestation of the human experience, orchestral music moves participants to a greater understanding of the world and compassion for each other. The mission of Cabrillo Festival is to transform the orchestral experience for artists and audiences by building a vibrant community dedicated to the creation and performance of profound, relevant, and innovative music. DEIB STATEMENT Cabrillo Festival is actively working to advance our commitment to DEIB (diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging) by examining our practices and policies, addressing bias at individual and institutional levels, and increasing opportunities for participation and collaboration with artists, staff, board, and audiences of all cultural origins, abilities, and orientations. We have added a page on our website: cabrillomusic.org/deib- statement where we will share our work to date, next steps we intend to take, and resources we are finding helpful. The work is ongoing, organic, and conversational, and we intend to maintain transparency and accountability as it evolves. With that spirit of transparency we offer a brief synopsis of recent work in support of our DEIB goals: Intentionally engaging musicians, artists, and staff of greater diversity Continued DEIB education and discussion for Board & Staff Increasing Spanish language accessibility Commitment to using our "DEIB Lens" in all aspects of our work Focusing on financial equity including reducing travel costs for musicians We welcome your thoughts and questions, please feel free to contact us at any time: cabrillomusic.org/ CONTACT-US.
