New Sounds and the long-running, adventurous Ojai Music Festival present exclusive performances in an ongoing collaboration called Ojai On the Air. Listen to music recorded at the 2024 Ojai Music Festival, where, for 78 years, the Festival has blended the sounds of classical music and more exploratory things as well, each year under the guidance of a different music director. The 2024 Music Director was the Grammy-Award winning Mitsuko Uchida, known as a peerless interpreter of the works of Mozart, Schubert, Schumann and Beethoven and one of the most universally admired pianists and artists of our time.
