Mainly Mozart Festival
Mainly Mozart is a 501(c)3 non-profit based in San Diego, California, and is an internationally renowned presenter of world-class musicians.
Mainly Mozart was created in 1988 by Maestro David Atherton and Executive Director Nancy Laturno Bojanic, formerly of the San Diego Symphony, to give the people of Southern California and Baja California an opportunity to experience the finest classical music performed live in the summer by principal orchestral musicians.
The focus was placed on Mozart because he is considered one of the world's greatest composers, and because of the breadth of masterful works that he composed specifically for chamber orchestra. Since its inception, Mainly Mozart has added the works of other composers with an emphasis on those of the 18th and 19th centuries. Using the common language of music, Mainly Mozart has served as a regional resource by connecting communities in Southern California and Baja California to Mainly Mozart musicians, classical music, and stories behind the music.
