Ojai Music Festival

Escape to the sophisticated music event that's been mixing curiosity and creativity in Ojai for nearly 70 years. Every year, a new music director (this time, it's Jeremy Denk) is allowed to go carte blanches, brainstorming four days of unique musical experiences to produce a unique, never-before-heard aural feast. Get your fill of classical music, films, dance performances, social gatherings and community events at Libbey Bowl (210 S Signal St): Opera world premieres, seasoned string quartets and veteran solo vocalists are just a few of the elegant acts you can expect from this year.
