Festival Mozaic is an annual celebration of music that takes place on California's beautiful Central Coast in San Luis Obispo County.  The Festival consists of chamber music concerts, orchestra performances, crossover and popular artists, Notable Encounter educational events, and free community events including mini-concerts, family concerts, master classes, lectures, and open rehearsals.  Festival artists are the best in their field and come to San Luis Obispo from all over the world.

The WinterMezzo Chamber Music Series takes place across multiple weekends in the fall and winter and are kind of like mini-festivals.  Each weekend consists of 2-3 sequential events, including Notable Encounters and a traditional chamber music concert.  These events are great chances to get up-close-and-personal with the musicians, most of whom also perform at the Summer Festival.  Continue the Festival fun in the "off season" at WinterMezzo!

Festival Mozaic events take place in various venues throughout San Luis Obispo County, California, ranging from wineries and orchards to churches and state-of-the-art concert halls. 

Because of the variety of events offered at the Summer Festival, we do not offer a Festival pass.  Tickets can be purchased in many different packages offered at various discounts. Regularly priced tickets to single events are also available.
