A note from Executive Director, Lalé Welsh

Hello friends of VMF and music-lovers! As I come to the end of my first year with the festival, I’m reflecting on this past 29th season with gratitude. From the foot-stomping bluegrass of Michael Cleveland to the smooth sounds of Anderson & Roe, this year was something truly special: a “first” for me and a “last” for our twenties. As we turn our attentions to the holidays (and onward into our 30th Season) I’m excited to announce the final concert of the year: The King’s Singers will close Season 29 this December with an a cappella holiday performance!

With other Fall collaborations upcoming and our Music in the Schools program ramping back up, I invite you to enjoy the sounds of “Autumn” from Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons as you explore the next upcoming event from the Ventura Music Festival, and a few from the other wonderful organizations that make our Ventura arts community so vibrant; NAMBA Arts, New West Symphony, Schwab Academy, and so many others.

From all of us at Ventura Music Festival, Happy Fall!

Join us for a holiday concert this December! The King’s Singers have set the gold standard in a cappella singing on the world’s greatest stages for over fifty years. Their unrivaled technique, musicianship, and versatility has led to numerous accolades, including two Grammy Awards, an Emmy Award, and a place in Gramophone magazine’s inaugural Hall of Fame. Their name comes from King’s College, Cambridge, where the original six members were choral scholars in 1968, leading to a storied, 56-year musical journey into the 21st Century…
