open rehearsals & pre-rehearsal talks

“The orchestra unleashed bristling performances of contemporary music....The Cabrillo Festival has shown how to build a sustaining community around progressive music.”

--Wall Street Journal

Open Rehearsals
Marin says that Festival goers "treat music as a participatory sport." You truly have the chance to see the music come to life—as the community of Marin, musicians, and composers sculpt their pieces for performance.

Pre-Concert Talks
Sometimes the smallest details about a piece of music or its composer give you that "lightbulb over the head" feeling, or spark your interest deeply.
