OJAI MUSIC FESTIVAL – LIBBEY BOWL
The June Concerts Get a New Home for 2011
The Ojai
Music Festival was first begun in 1947 and since become a tradition
and not-to-be missed
event for classic music fans in the Southern California
region for its long list of musical greats who have played on its stage
or directed its orchestras, composers Aaron Copeland and John Adams,
artists Emanuel Ax and James Levine, conductors like Michael Tilson
Thomas and Eka Pekka Salonen. The festival held every June among the
trees in
Libbey Park, named for the one time glass magnate who retired to Ojai
and built the city’s iconic mission style look. For
2011, the Ojai Festival gets a new bowl. After hosting the music performances
under the open sky, the first bowl amphitheater stage in the park,
a volunteer do-it-yourself community effort was completed in 1957 and
inaugurated
with a premier of Aaron Copeland’s The Tender Land.
After
more than 60 years, the Ojai Music Festival home gets a makeover, completed
just in time for the 2011 season, with a grand unveiling
Music Blast Grand Opening Celebration on the weekend of June 4-5 2011,
the new Libbey Bowl makes its debut. Once again a community effort
with contributions by more than 750 local families to create a state-of-the
art modern venue for year to come, the seating views and lawns have
been re-graded for better sightlines, with comfortable seats and construction
with green materials. More than 30 trees have been planted for shade
and enhancement of the wooded beauty. The historic twice planted oak
with its snaking thick trunk remains aside the seating and entrance
to
the bowl now passes through the Sound Cradle Arch, an interactive tonal
arch designed by sound sculptor Gerhard Trimpin which plays its own
sounds with the passage of attendees should fascinate and envelope
