ADMISSION INFO

CPMF's 2024 Festival season—“Spur of the Moment: A Summer of Surprising Spontaneity”— is Cactus Pear’s 28th season. That’s quite something—28 years of amazing musicians, incredible chamber music, and spectacular concerts. That’s 28 years of sitting on the edge of your seat, riveted by the masterful spontaneity of what’s happening on stage. In honor of that spontaneity, our 28th season is entitled SPUR OF THE MOMENT. Aside from being a playful nod to the San Antonio Spurs, the title celebrates the special ingredient—spontaneity—that makes for thrilling chamber music performances. We have an incredible line-up of top-drawer artists from around the country and four imaginative programs that include familiar chamber music masterpieces, thrilling and thought-provoking new works, and important chamber music by Black composers and women composers. All concerts are FREE. We do request that all those attending REGISTER THEIR ATTENDANCE through our website.

Please register for the concert(s) you plan to attend using the links. If for any reason you need to cancel a registration,
please do so as we can then make sure your seats are available for the next music lover wanting to attend. Thank you.
