Musica Angelica, one of the world’s highly ranked baroque orchestras, now in its 20th season, is not to be missed, and the Verdi Chorus performs seasonal concerts of operatic choral music. Throughout the year, the extraordinary Jacaranda series presents “transcendent” chamber music concerts, and on Sundays in August, the free Jazz on the Lawn series features LA–based artists in city parks. At the Broad Stage, enjoy concerts, opera, plays, dance, and lectures in a state-of-the-art theater with international stars like Mikhail Baryshnikov and Shakespeare’s Globe. Santa Monica is also home to highly regarded small theaters, including the Miles Memorial Playhouse and Highways Performance Space, the legendary site of Southern California’s own brand of provocative avant-garde theater and performance art. Another can’t-miss is the Fireside at the Miles series, where musicians, poets, dancers, and comedians present programs on winter weekends to audiences in comfortable couches and chairs in the historic small theater. A Look Back Discover the compelling people and stories that shaped Santa Monica and the Golden State at the California Heritage Museum, with notable exhibits of paintings, furniture, skateboards and surfboards, and California crafts and beach lifestyles. At the Santa Monica History Museum, view carefully collected and preserved memorabilia and vintage photography. And be sure to explore the popular new Annenberg Community Beach House with yearround performances, rotating exhibitions of local artists, and daily docent tours of what was once the house that William Randolph Hearst built for actress Marion Davies. The vision of architect Julia Morgan, the estate is an example of Santa Monica’s Gold Coast era of the 1920s. Whatever art adventure you choose, Santa Monica epitomizes SoCal arts and culture. Clockwise from facing page: Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica Museum of Art, public art (Singing Beach Chairs), Twilight Concert Series, Glow, and Fireside at the Miles Memorial Playhouse.
