The 2024 Festival

CPMF's 28th Season:

It was a "Spur of the Moment" festival, a summer

of surprising spontaneity.


This summer was Cactus Pear’s 28th festival 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 was entitled SPUR OF THE MOMENT. Aside from being a playful nod to the San Antonio Spurs, the title celebrated the special ingredient—spontaneity—that makes for thrilling chamber music performances. We had an incredible line-up of top-drawer artists from around the country and four imaginative programs that included familiar chamber music masterpieces, thrilling and thought-provoking new works, and important chamber music by Black composers and women composers. All concerts were FREE. We did request that all those attending REGISTER their attendance through our website.


          The four programs were:
