The Mendocino Music Festival is a magical blend of exceptional music by outstanding performers in one of the most enchanting sites in Northern California. Every year in mid-July a concert hall is built from the ground up in the Festival’s 16,000 square foot performance tent on Mendocino Headlands State Park overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

In 2010 the Mendocino Music Festival will present thirteen evenings of music including three orchestra concerts, two evenings of opera (Carmen), classical chamber concerts, jazz, bluegrass, world music, dance and Big Band.The world-class orchestra consists of approximately 80 musicians. Daytime concerts include four Piano Series lecture/recitals, five Village Chamber Concerts, a Children’s Matinee, an Emerging Artists concert and a special jazz/pop concert on the last Saturday of the Festival, for a total of 25 concerts between Saturday, July 10 and Saturday, July 24. All orchestra and opera rehearsals are open to the public free of charge.
