It really is donors who make the music happen — who enable us to bring our Music in the Schools program to 2,000 or more elementary school children each year, and to bring the likes of Joshua Bell, Pink Martini, Anderson & Roe, We Banjo 3, Perla Batalla, Joey Alexander, Ranky Tanky, Tommy Emmanuel and other great artists to the Ventura Music Festival.
