What Is Mainly Mozart? Nancy Laturno Explains the Mission Behind Culinary Concerto
Not just performances—an ecosystem of purpose
At the 2nd Annual Culinary Concerto in San Diego, the spotlight wasn’t only on the tableside four-course artistry. It was also on why the room exists. “I’m Nancy Laturno, CEO of Mainly Mozart,” she begins—then defines the organization in one clear line: “Mainly Mozart is the largest Mozart Festival in North America.”
“on one stage in La Jolla for two weeks in June.”
The centerpiece—and everything it supports
“The best of the best” in La Jolla. Laturno describes the heart of it: the All-Star Festival Orchestra, bringing top players from New York, Cleveland, Chicago, and Boston together “on one stage in La Jolla for two weeks in June.”
Music that reaches beyond the stage
During the year, Mainly Mozart expands into a wine-pairing concert series, a 350-member Youth Orchestra, work in the autism community, and cross-border programs—a commitment that “goes back to 1991.”
