? Season Unveiled at Ojai Gathering

The announcement came first to VMF’s community of donors and sponsors last Friday evening at an invitation-only soirée hosted at the Ojai home of DeeDee Dorskind and VMF Board Chair, Brad Tabach-Bank. Guests gathered poolside for an evening of refreshments, live music performed by the Jonathan Montes Trio, a lineup unveiling by Artistic Director Nuvi Mehta, and a celebration of both the new season and the generosity of the supporters who make it possible. VMF was delighted to announce the John and Glenda Hammer Family as the season’s Impresario Title sponsor, fulfilling the festival’s highest level of support.

 

“It is genuinely thrilling to be stepping into this role as we head into such an extraordinary season,” said Interim Executive Director Sonia Tower. “The 2026 lineup reflects everything that makes this festival special: world-class artistry, deep community roots, and programming that reflects Ventura’s musical heritage, from classical to bluegrass to Latin jazz. I couldn’t be more excited to bring this to life for Venturans, and for visitors to our city.”
