Sanibel Music Festival is overjoyed to begin its 38th season with a return to our long-time venue, UCC Sanibel Congregational Church, with its refreshed look.
Mark your calendars to brighten and begin your holiday season on Friday, December 6th, 2024 with Sanibel’s Island-wide 50th Anniversary Luminary Concert at our venue, UCC Sanibel Congregational Church.

For piano aficionados, we are elated to have the enthusiastic support of renowned pianist, Wu Han, for a special performance on March 1, 2025. Be sure to plan ahead to purchase your tickets early and online at www.sanibelmusicfestival.org for this “not to be missed” event. Stay tuned for details on our website in the coming months.
Continuing on March 4th, we shall showcase Jon Nakamatsu, who is in his third decade of world tours. On March 11th, we shall proudly present the winner of the U.S. National Chopin Piano Competition. The Horszowski Trio, which completed a tour of Germany (19 concerts in 23 days!) in 2022 with great success, will wow us with their prowess. Opera Theater of Connecticut will regale us with familiar tunes from Kander and Ebb: Cabaret, Chicago, and other favorites! To wrap up the season, the powerful and inspiring Isidore String Quartet.

Come revel in the intimacy of our venue and be up close with world-class artists. Plan to augment your experience with a donation of $1000 or more to achieve recognition in the ENCORE SOCIETY. One of the perks is an invitation to the After Glo reception following concerts to mingle with our esteemed artists and learn a bit more about their lives and musical styles!
We are an all-volunteer organization and strive to keep ticket prices reasonable, but to do so we depend on the generosity of our patrons as only 40% of expenses are covered by ticket sales. Donations of any amount may be made on our website or mailed to SMF, P.O. Box 1623, Sanibel, FL 33957.
Sanibel Music Festival is a 501 c3 organization, which allows your contribution to be considered tax deductible. (Please consult with your accountant for the best advice.)
Online ticket purchases will generate a scan code that you may show on your phone, which will not only expedite your entry into the venue but will also continue the ecology-friendly “Sanibel spirit”!

We believe the arts are a compelling force in the positive recovery of our region after Hurricane Ian. We are so grateful for your continued involvement and support.

Cordially yours,

Deborah Larson – Co-President
