Previous Project Success:
If your organization has completed a similar project, please provide details of the project and why it was
successful.
Mainly Mozart has been producing chamber music concerts featuring world-class artists at St. Elizabeth
Seton Church since 2004. The series has grown thanks to the support of Carlsbad community leaders and
organizations. The concerts bring nationally-acclaimed musicians – typically principal artists from some of
the country’s leading orchestras – to Carlsbad to perform chamber works. For the artists, this is a rare
experience to come together with other top-caliber musicians in a more intimate format, and their joy in this
unique experience is often palpable.
Each year, 15% of tickets are distributed at no charge to Carlsbad residents of need. For previous
chamber music series in Carlsbad (and for more than ten years) Mainly Mozart has partnered with Carlsbad-
based Viasat, with two campuses and 5,600 employees.
We look forward to returning to Carlsbad in 2022 after a hiatus caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Project Distinction:
What makes this project distinctive?
- The exceptional quality of featured artists usually reserved for larger venues. As mentioned above,
Mainly Mozart brings top orchestral musicians to Carlsbad and provides them with the unique opportunity to
work together performing chamber works that are outside of their typical repertoire.
- The breadth of Carlsbad community partners, working together to promote “Mainly Mozart in
Carlsbad” including: City of Carlsbad, Visit Carlsbad, Carlsbad Rotary, Museum of Making Music, St.Elizabeth
Seton Church Women's Auxiliary, and others.
- The “Mainly Mozart in Carlsbad” accessible ticket price (which is less than half of what is charged for
comparable concerts/artists, not only by other arts groups, but by Mainly Mozart elsewhere)
- Mainly Mozart’s fifteen+ years of producing world-class chamber music in Carlsbad

Organization Changes/Challenges/Circumstances:
What special circumstances, challenges or changes have affected your organization? What impact has this had on
your organization?
When the Covid-19 crisis hit San Diego in March 2020, Mainly Mozart had to postpone our annual
orchestra festival and cancel our remaining spring concerts, resulting in a dramatic impact on revenue and
fundraising. Refusing to let a pandemic silence live classical music, especially at a time when people were
struggling with social isolation, Mainly Mozart sprang into action and presented the first live classical
performance in the U.S. when we debuted our Drive-in Concerts in July. As the pandemic continued, Mainly
Mozart’s commitment to Keeping Live Music Alive brought inspiration and respite to thousands of San
Diegans hungering for live music and a sense of social interaction. Realizing that the demand for these
performances was high, Mainly Mozart expanded from one festival to four – offering drive-in concerts in

October, February, April and June. This commitment has created significant expenses that show no sign of
abating. To support these ambitious plans, a special fundraising challenge campaign was created to provide
vital support for our performances.
Mainly Mozart is proud to have been the innovator who brought live classical music back to San Diego,
and of our commitment to take financial risks in order to keep live music alive. With California returning to
business, we hope to apply the lessons we learned on nimble innovation to continue offering even more San
Diegans the opportunity to experience the joy of live performance.

Nancy Laturno, CEO, co-founded Mainly Mozart in 1988. Under Laturno’s leadership, Mainly Mozart has
grown from a two week festival into a year-round producer of world-class orchestral and chamber music
concerts, youth orchestra, outreach for students and adults, and innovative programs such as Mozart &
the Mind. She is responsible for all aspects of the organization’s strategic, artistic and operational
planning and implementation. In 2020, Ms. Laturno gained national recognition for her bold innovation
when Mainly Mozart presented the first live classical performances in the U.S. since the pandemic
began.
Maestro Michael Francis, Mainly Mozart’s Music Director, is a conductor of international reputation,
forging collaborations with the world’s leading orchestras. Just months after his appointment as Music
Director of the Mainly Mozart Festival in late 2014, his appointment as Music Director of The Florida
Orchestra was announced. In 2019, he began his tenure as Chief Conductor of the German Orchestra,
Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz. For the COVID-affected 2020-21 season, Francis has re-
designed entirely new seasons for Mainly Mozart, The Florida Orchestra, and Deutsche
Staatsphilharmonie. These include innovative programming with smaller ensembles, split-orchestra
concerts, live-streaming, drive-in concerts, and curated online experiences.
NOTE: The following artists are not confirmed, but are representative of the caliber of musicians that
will perform in our Carlsbad Chamber Concert.
San Francisco Symphony Principal Bass Scott Pingel and Metropolitan Opera Orchestra Concertmaster
David Chan served as Artistic Partners for the February and April 2021 Festivals.
Mr. Pingel became Principal Bass of the SFS in 2004, having previously served in that position with the
Charleston Symphony. In 2011 Pingel had the privilege of performing on the acclaimed Karr-
Koussevitzky bass for his solo debut with Andrei Gorbatenko and the San Francisco Academy Orchestra.
He currently serves as Performance Faculty at the SF Conservatory of Music. Also a jazz musician, he has
worked with artists including Michael Brecker, Geoff Keezer, and James Williams.
Best known as one of the most accomplished violinists of his generation, San Diego native David Chan
has established himself as a sought-after conductor as well. The 2019-20 season marked his 20th as
concertmaster of New York’s MET Orchestra, his third as the inaugural Music Director of New Jersey’s
Montclair Orchestra, where he has earned high praise for innovative and adventurous programming,
and his second as Music Director of Camerata Notturna, one of NYC’s foremost chamber orchestras. In
2008, combining his interest in wine with his passion for music, he co-founded the Musique et Vin au
Clos Vougeot festival in Burgundy, France, which pairs wine tastings with music, overseeing its growth to
a two-week extravaganza attracting many of the biggest names in classical music. Chan began his
musical education at the age of four. After winning prizes at the Tchaikovsky and Indianapolis
international violin competitions, he made his New York debut in 1995 at Avery Fisher Hall, and his
Carnegie Hall debut in 2003.

On Saturday afternoon, Mainly Mozart gave concert-starved San Diegans a free gift: a happy
performance of octets by Mozart and Mendelssohn
By CHRISTIAN HERTZOG | WRITER
JULY 13, 2020 |1:07 PM
The coronavirus lockdown has taken a heavy toll on the performing arts. Audiences cannot safely congregate indoors,
nor can musicians, dancers or actors gather onstage in any large group.
The San Diego Symphony, San Diego Opera, La Jolla Music Society and countless other organizations, big and small,
have been dark since March.
For the past 30 years, the Mainly Mozart Festival’s crown jewel, its monthlong summer festival, has brought
musicians together from across the world to convene in San Diego to gloriously make music. This year, the events
scheduled for June have been postponed to 2021.
On Saturday afternoon though, Mainly Mozart gave concert-starved San Diegans a free gift: a happy performance of
octets by Mozart and Mendelssohn.
Instead of the visual charm and fine acoustics of the Balboa Theatre — the Festival’s most recent home — a dirt
parking lot at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club was the venue.
As the horses at the nearby track raced to empty seats, 70 cars were guided into socially distanced spaces before a
small but high stage flanked by elevated speakers.
We were instructed to remain in our vehicles during the event. We could listen to the performance through open
windows (in some cases, lowered convertible tops) or tune to an AM frequency on our radios. I opted for the stage
speaker experience.

Before the music commenced, Los Angeles Philharmonic concertmaster Martin Chalifour — who has performed for
every Mainly Mozart Festival since 1989 — told the audience that he hadn’t played a concert in nearly six months. He
introduced his L.A. Philharmonic colleagues: violinists Bing Wang and Lyndon Johnston, violists Michael Larco and
Leticia Strong, and cellists Barry Gold and Jason Lippmann, all of them wearing masks.

After a few more remarks by San Diego Symphony concertmaster Jeff Thayer, the program began with Mozart’s
“Divertimento in D Major, K. 136.” Written for two violin, viola and cello parts, it is frequently performed by string
orchestras, although it works equally well as a string quartet. The musicians doubled up on each part, a more difficult
interpretive task requiring precise intonation. As Mainly Mozart veterans might expect, these challenges were easily
overcome.
Yes, there were minor setbacks in the amplification: occasional feedback, wind flutter on the mikes, and the
occasional flapping of pages magnified. But after three or more months of no local classical concerts, to hear eight
musicians happily collaborating and communing was a joy that transcended any small sound equipment difficulties.
Mozart was 16 years old when he composed this three-movement work. It’s a confident, genial piece which provides
glimpses of great music to come, but it’s clear that the talented teen was still discovering who he was.

No such qualifications need to be made about Mendelssohn’s Octet in E-flat Major, Op. 20, one of the greatest works
ever penned by a 16-year-old. Its triumphantly sunny disposition, appealing melodies and formal surprises would be
a proud accomplishment for a composer of any age. The musicians played flawlessly and gave it an exciting
rendition.
When the final notes sounded, the audience signaled its happy approval with a vigorous round of horn honking.
Circumstances willing, Mainly Mozart will continue these drive-in performances, with the next event scheduled for
July 25 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds at 3 p.m. and 6 pm.

The concerts, which will showcase top national orchestra musicians, will be held in February,
April and June at the Del Mar Fairgrounds and could be expanded to Orange County if the
coronavirus pandemic eases
By GEORGE VARGA
JAN. 6, 2021 |6 AM
Mainly Mozart is gearing up for a big return to the Del Mar Fairgrounds, where it staged a series of groundbreaking
2020 drive-in concerts after the coronavirus pandemic shuttered indoor and outdoor concert venues across the
country and around the world.
The 2020 drive-in concerts were the first such performances in the nation by an established classical-music
presenter and paved the way for San Diego Opera’s subsequent drive-in performances of “La bohème” with members
of the San Diego Symphony and La Jolla Music Society’s upcoming four Del Mar drive-in concerts in February by
jazz great Wynton Marsalis.
Founded 33 years ago, Mainly Mozart will kick off its even more ambitious 2021 Festival of Orchestras in February
with four drive-in performances. The all-star festival will continue with drive-in concerts in April and June, when it
hopes to shift to a car-free outdoor venue, health regulations permitting, and expand significantly adding
performances in Orange County.
June is the month when, between 2008 and 2019, the Mainly Mozart Festival Orchestra held court for multiple
concerts in San Diego’s currently dark Balboa Theatre. The pandemic prompted last year’s move outdoors in Del
Mar. The addition of February and April concerts marks a further growth for the intrepid nonprofit arts organization.
According to Mainly Mozart CEO and co-founder Nancy Laturno, the capacity for the February and April drive-in
concerts will be 300 cars for each performance.

“June has a lot more question marks — who knows what the format will be then?” Laturno said. “What we do know is
the concerts in June will be held on an outdoor stage, structured around the COVID-19 protocols of that time, and
that people will either be socially distanced in cars or seated outdoors. There is zero chance we will go to an indoor
venue in June.”
The February performances will showcase musicians from the Los Angeles Philharmonic and San Francisco
Symphony. Most of those concerts will be conducted by violinist David Chan, the concertmaster of New York’s
Metropolitan Opera Orchestra. The April concerts, for which Chan will again conduct, will pair members of New
York’s Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and the Washington, D.C.-based National Symphony.
Festival of Orchestras tickets are now on sale at mainlymozart.org and prices and the schedule appear below. If all
goes as planned, the April and June concerts will take place in Orange County as well as here. Original plans called
for the February, April and June performances to be be held in San Diego and Orange counties. But the resurgent
pandemic made it impossible to confirm the Orange County portion in time for the February concerts.
“In April, if it is allowed, we will have a hybrid of both drive-in and socially distanced outdoor seating,” said Laturno,
who acknowledged the multiple challenges of planning and mounting a festival during a pandemic.
“To say that the (final details) for the concerts in June are still unknown is unthinkable. But, right now, everything is
unthinkable,” she noted. “I have been in classical music and performing arts for my entire career, so I’m used to
being adaptable. But I never imagined any environment like the one we are now in. There is no way to prepare
yourself for this, except to run as fast as you can while being prepared to run in the opposite direction at a second’s
notice.”
