The biggest event in classical music returns to San Diego June 20-29. The Mainly Mozart All-Star Orchestra Festival, led by Maestro Michael Francis, is the largest gathering of concertmasters and principal players from the nation’s top orchestras, who come together in San Diego every summer to form one remarkable orchestra for a limited six-concert series. This year, the orchestra will return to two La Jolla venues where it first held performances in 2023: the UC San Diego Epstein Family Amphitheater and The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center. “We are delighted to return to these two outstanding venues,” said Michael Francis, music director and conductor of the All-Star Orchestra. “Last year's concerts at UC San Diego’s Epstein Family Amphitheater were a real highlight for all of us and The Conrad has truly earned its reputation as one of the country’s great chamber music halls.” Featuring musicians from top U.S. orchestras including the New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, Cleveland Orchestra, Philadelphia Orchestra and more, Mainly Mozart’s All-Star Orchestra is the only orchestra of its kind in the country.
