The arts in Marin have always been important, but perhaps have never flourished as they do today. In October, you’ll get a unique opportunity to hear from the people who lead three of the County’s flagship arts organizations: Marin Symphony, Marin Theatre and the Kanbar Center for the Performing Arts.

This forum will give audience members a chance to hear what’s in store for the current season of film, music and theatre as well as get an inside look at these groups and hear what challenges they face going forward.

Audience members will learn how art programmers select content and performers to develop each season and will get a chance to explore the presenters’ inside perspectives. The event will also give listeners an opportunity to suggest the sort of programs they’d like to see created here in Marin. We hope you’ll come and join us for this exciting program.
