In Memory of Paul Doré

With great sadness, the Santa Barbara Bowl family has learned of the passing of Paul Doré, former Santa Barbara Bowl Foundation president. Paul's dedication to the vision and goals of the Bowl Foundation, and his accomplishments as the Foundation's president for 15 years will be firmly cemented as part of the Bowl's history.

Paul joined the Bowl board in 1999 and started serving as president in 2002. During his tenure, he not only attended over 400 concerts, but he also supported a radical transformation of the Bowl facilities and brand. It was one of his passions, and he often said,

"The Bowl is a good place to be."

The Santa Barbara Bowl wishes to express our sincerest condolences to Paul's family and his many friends who loved him.

He will be greatly missed.
