Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium

Call Directions Website

Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium Historical 2000 seat, multi-purpose venue in downtown Santa Cruz, California. Tickets available via SantaCruzTickets.com Open Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Tournament.

Dedicated over 70 years ago in downtown Santa Cruz, the Civic Auditorium remains a major pillar of the Santa Cruz Community. On alternate occasions since opening day, the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium has been a concert hall, sports arena, theater, ice skating rink, town hall, convention center, exhibition hall, dance hall, sound stage, banquet room, ceremonial hall, movie theater, Red Cross shelter, graduation hall and more. The Civics’ seventy-plus years of service have reflected the growth and change in our community and in the world at large. To unravel the thread of Auditorium history is to journey a civic and cultural timeline of the latter half of the twentieth century. The Civic has hosted Eleanor Rosevelt, H.H. Dalai Lama, Coretta Scott King, Gloria Steinem, Ray Charles, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley & the Wailers, and Bonnie Raitt to name just a few. The building is home to the nationally recognized Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music, the Santa Cruz County Symphony, and the Santa Cruz Follies benefiting senior programs. Sporting events include the Santa Cruz Derby Girls, Dad's Club and the U.S. There’s more to come…

Cabrillo Festival is always looking for original voices and ideas. We welcome composers to submit scores and recordings/mockups for review by our Score Review Committee, made up of Cabrillo Festival orchestra members, with works considered for programming in a future season. Submissions can be made via our website at https://cabrillomusic.org/score-submission/

Submissions are accepted year-round, but if you’d like your work to be considered for the 2027 season, now is the time to send it in—the committee will be convening in the next couple of weeks!

All submissions will be reviewed, with full orchestra works under 15 minutes prioritized over concerti, chamber orchestra works, and full-length symphonies. There are no age limit limits or other submission parameters.

For composers 30 and under: We also encourage you to apply for our annual Composers Workshop. Details for the 2027 season and applications will be available later this year. Stay tuned!
