When plans for November's California Festival: A Celebration of New were announced in January, it was billed as a wildly ambitious undertaking that would showcase dozens of music organizations across the state. Now, with Tuesday's announcement of the full schedule of events — 95 in all — that ambition is set to become an even more heady reality. To be held Nov. 3-19, the festival is the brainchild of the music directors of California state's three leading orchestras — the San Diego Symphony's Rafael Payare, the Los Angeles Philharmonic's Gustavo Dudamel and the San Francisco Symphony's Esa-Pekka Salonen.
