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 dinners and 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.

Festival Mozaic presents a two-week series of events each summer, typically at the end of July.  The Festival also has "presenting" series during the year that includes chamber performances by Festival artists as well as special guest performers.

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.  

All Festival tickets are e-tickets and will be emailed to you within minutes of completing your order online or over the phone. If you do not receive an email with your tickets, please check your SPAM folder and then call our office. Tickets should be printed and displayed for admittance to the concert. If you do not have an email address, or a printer at home, please let us know. 

Due to limited seating at our venues, we can only reserve seats for pre-paid orders. If you prefer to pay with cash or check, we would be happy to assist you in person at our San Luis Obispo office: 265 South Street, Suite G.  Give us a call to check our most current office hours: (805) 781-3009.

Some Festival Mozaic events have reserved seating while others are General Admission (non-reserved). Please refer to your ticket which will either list a specific row and seat number or specify “General Admission."

You may reprint your tickets from your confirmation email at any time or call our office and we will be able to locate and resend your order.

All ticket sales are final and there are no refunds given except in the event of a concert cancellation. Festival Mozaic donors of $250 or more are given free ticket exchanging privileges. If you cannot use a previously purchased ticket, you may elect to donate the tickets back to the Festival and receive a tax deduction for the value of your tickets. Tickets are also transferable, so you may opt to give tickets you are unable to use to a friend or family member.

As always, give the Festival office a call to discuss your options if you are unable to use a previously-purchased ticket.
