History of the Redlands Bowl:
In 1924, Grace Stewart Mullen, a woman of great vision and perseverance, brought
to our city a music festival which has continued through 74 seasons. During
each summer, 17 to 20 open-air programs are performed. Financial support comes
primarily from voluntary contributions made by individuals, businesses, and
corporations throughout the Inland Empire. The Redlands Bowl Summer Music Festival
is enriched by the participation of all nationalities. Audiences range from
80,000 to 100,000 each summer. The 1997 budget is $266,150, which includes all
artists' fees and additional services supported by a vast number of hours given
by volunteers. The programs are widely diversified including symphonies, ballets,
operas, musicals, and recitals. No admission is charged for these performances.
The Redlands Bowl is a cultural heritage of Redlands extending to all of Southern
California. 1997 is the seventy-fourth season.
