Peter Sellars To Direct 2016 Ojai Festival

Kaija Saariaho will be the featured composer: Sellars will stage Only the Sound Remains, her setting of Ezra Pound’s adaptation of two Noh plays, and the chamber version of La Passion de Simone. Also planned are works by Caroline Shaw and Tania León, Tyshawn Sorey’s new Josephine Baker: A Personal Portrait, performances by Egyptian and South Indian classical vocalists, and – for the first time at Ojai – free concerts for families.
