Works performed since 1963

The Cabrillo Festival has a long and prestigious history. In these pages called “Music Archives,” you’ll find an outline of the hundreds of works performed during the past five decades. Though we are not professional archivists ourselves, the Festival has created a database chronicling its performance history. We are happy to share a portion of that information here. It is divided into Decades, beginning in 1963. It is chronological and includes the Performance Date, Composer, Title of Work, Premiere Status (if applicable), and Conductor (if applicable). We hope it proves a joyful reminder to some, and an educational tool for others.
