Summer Arts Classical Music Preview

Ask those who have attended the concerts and masterclasses of the Music Academy of the West faithfully for years what the best parts of the festival are and you are likely to get many different answers. Some love the picnic concerts, while others are devoted to the Tuesdays at 8 series. Masterclasses offer the higher level of pleasure that can accompany witnessing new musical inspiration strike. Whatever your taste, the academy’s extensive schedule of programs is bound to offer something to please you.

Summer Arts Film Preview

Sony scored a major coup a few years back by opening Spider-Man in May, and ever since then, the summer blockbuster season has begun earlier and earlier.

The Goo Goo Dolls Give Back

When a pop rock band becomes a household name, one that rings a bell to your mother, one you hear every day on the radio, and whose words resonate after decades, you have to wonder what it was that caught your ear from the beginning. How did the voices of these strangers become woven into your life?

Summer Arts Pop and Rock Preview

The revamped S.B. Bowl leads by example this summer by providing a little something for all musical palates, including the 12th Annual Mariachi Festival and Gwen Stefani. Other venues that may have slipped past your radar but come highly recommended are SOhO, Jensen Guitar’s Mainstage, Velvet Jones, the Chumash Casino, and Muddy Waters. Whatever your preference and whichever your poison, don’t let this summer pass you by without reaping the benefits of living in this sunny musical cosmos.

Summer Solstice Artistic Director Riccardo Morrison Gets Ready to Roll

A sunny Sunday afternoon, three weeks before the big parade, and already Riccardo Morrison was rocking in the Solstice maelstrom.
