Cazadero Performing Arts Camp (also known as Cazadero Music Camp, or Cazadero) is a performing arts camp located in the Sonoma redwoods in Northern California, United States.[1] Established in 1957 by then Berkeley High School band director Bob Lutt (who eventually was made executive director of the Berkeley Symphony), the first campers were a mixture of Berkeley High teens and members of the San Francisco Symphony.[1]


History of the camp

Since 1957, the camp has become a significant influence in every facet of San Francisco Bay Area music, including the San Francisco Symphony, the orchestras for the San Francisco Opera and the San Francisco Ballet, and Tower of Power, an Oakland, California 10-member horn-based soul band formed in 1968.[1] Caz faculty were the first to conceive of a professional baroque chamber orchestra composed entirely of period instruments, resulting in the 1981 creation of the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra by harpsichordist Laurette Goldberg.[1]

Bob Lutt

Long time music teacher Bob Lutt was the founder of Cazadero Performing Arts Camp. Born in Nebraska, he started his life-long passion for music by asking his parents for a $25 trombone when he was 12.[2] In 1954 Lutt began teaching at Berkeley High School. His years of teaching experience compelled him to ask Berkeley city officials to let him use a plot of land near Russian River.[2] Lutt retired after 35 years of public education but could not stay away from music for very long. Bob was committed to music education until his death in October 26, 2011.[2]

Programs for Musicians

Each summer, the camp hosts educational programs for young musicians, as well as the Cazadero Performing Arts Family Camp where children and adults take arts classes side-by-side. Campers also enjoy 'downtime activities' such as swimming, ping pong, basketball, lanyards, friendship bracelets and foosball.

The camp, which sits atop the late 19th century location of the then-infamous Bohemian Grove, maintains a signature suspension bridge over which more than 100,000 young musicians have crossed.[3]
