Join us, in person, on Sunday March 6, 2022, from 5 p.m.

The Winter Musicale is our primary fundraising event, a chamber recital performance followed by a fundraising dinner. We anticipate that ticket sales will cover only 30% of our concert expenses this reopening year. Your contribution is essential. Please join us in making possible our 42nd annual Festival season in June 2022. All who contribute $125 or more per person after August 1, 2021, are welcome to attend the Winter Musicale event, as a thank-you for supporting our live 2022 summer season. If you are interested in attending and are not already on our mailing list, or are on our mailing list and have not yet received an invitation by mail or email, you may print the RSVP form, and view current underwriting opportunities here. Donations and RSVPs may be sent digitally or by mail (please include a copy of the RSVP form) to arrive before February 25. Any questions, please contact us.

The health and safety of our supporters, performers, volunteers and staff is our priority.
We continue to review our COVID-19 protocols to align with the CDC’s and California’s latest guidelines. Our current requirements to attend our in-person events are proof of full vaccination and booster (administered no less than two weeks before March 6), and non-cloth masking (N95/KN95/KF94) for all attendees and participants throughout the event, except when activity eating and drinking at dinner. Dinner to go after the concert will also be offered. KN95 masks will be available on arrival. There may be further updates to this protocol prior to the Winter Musicale. This is a dynamic situation, and we will communicate any changes if and when they occur.
