Thank you for your continuing support of the Baroque Music Festival, Corona del Mar. I am delighted to invite you on behalf of our Board of Directors to be our guest at our annual fall event. Please join us for a virtual Fall Gathering, to be held live online on Wednesday, October 14th from 7:00 pm.

This year’s event will look a little different to prior years, but the intent is primarily the same: to gather with you—our loyal BMF supporters—to express our thanks; for you to meet and socialize with each other; and for you to hear words and music from the festival’s artistic director, Elizabeth Blumenstock.

There will be lots of music! Elizabeth will be joined by long-time colleague and friend Mary Springfels (who last appeared at the festival in our 2018 “Wednesday Gardens” concert) in 17th- and early 18th-century repertoire by J.S. Bach, Johann Schop, Matthew Locke, and Joseph Bodin de Boismortier, performed on violin and viola da gamba. 

Event links, concert program notes and other details will be emailed to attendees before October 14.  
RSVP by October 10, by clicking the button below.

Any questions? Please email us at info@bmf-cdm.org or call (949) 760-7887. Zoom video conferencing instructions will be emailed along with the event links, for those who are not familiar with the platform. We will also have a phone helpline on the evening of the event.

We welcome your presence at our fall supporters’ event and look forward to your continued participation as part of the festival family.

With my very best regards—

Wayne Norman, President, Board of Directors 
Baroque Music Festival, Corona del Mar
