Mainly Mozart
Festival of Orchestras

February 2021
With Musicians of the LA Phil & SF Symphony

Pairing Musicians of the World’s Great Orchestras

Lifelong friendships are forged through Mainly Mozart’s Adopt-an-Artist program where supporters “adopt” a member of the Festival Orchestra or Festival soloist through their gift of $1,000 to $15,000. Throughout the Festival, sponsors have opportunities to connect with their artist.
