Every Ojai Festival is special, but there is no question that the 2009 Festival will be unlike any other. Eighth blackbird will be bringing their unique collaborative ideas to the stage, and they've planned all their most favorite pieces. Tom Morris has been working closely with them to develop the program, and here he gives us his insights into what to expect.

More on Lisa Bielawa 
Lisa Bielawa's wild and wonderful music will be heard for the first time in Ojai at the Sunday Night concert this June. Ms. Bielawa is a long time collaborator with eighth blackbird. Apparently, she has the attention of one Mr. Alex Ross too.

Check out the piece he's talking about here.
