Concerts - Classical & Jazz
|
| La Senora's Concerts cover two key historical eras: |
In remembrance of Jose Mojica -- a famous Mexican opera star who built our Hacienda with its acoustically perfect Salon to 'showcase his talent' -- La Senora conducts an annual Classical Music Chamber Series.
But the Hacienda has always been filled with music, and it wasn't all classical! When the Loos Family purchased the property from Mojica, screenwriter Anita Loos entertained her friends on a grand scale. It was the 1930's -- during which Santa Monica Canyon was to become world-famous for its "Salon Era," where writers, composers, philosophers and scientist expatriates, including Huxley and Einstein, intermingled. The "Gershwin Boys" and Cole Porter all took their turn at Anita's piano during those afternoons.In fond remembrance, today, La Senora's Cabaret Suppers of Latin, Jazz and Classics, showcase our young professional artists in that same Salon.
-
Those with little formal knowledge of music are especially welcome at these concerts as we gently introduce them to the great composers and genres.
-
Concerts have extensive program notes to educate the audience on the composer, the era or the music being presented.
-
Audiences love our Season Finales - a summer evening with music in the gardens.

|
| | Event : | Music Of The People, By The People, For The People | Date/Time:
| 9 April 2010, 7:30 PM
| Description:
| La
Senora would like to share with you some information on Karen
Benjamin's latest project, MUSIC OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE
PEOPLE. Ms. Benjamin stated that, around the time the economy tanked,
she found a book of art song arrangements of American folksongs and was
struck by not only the beauty of the music but how poignant the lyrics
were with respect to the current situation in this country (and the world for that matter).
This is Ms. Benjamin's latest project, which brings her back to singing
with "classical chops." Ms. Benjamin's husband, Alan Champan, has
written some brilliant arrangements, in addition to various other
composer's arrangements of these timeless folksongs, spirituals and
Hutchinson family songs of the 19th century. |
|
| | Event : | Art of Empire - Aztec Culture and Concert | Date/Time:
| 10 April, 2010, 3:00 PM
| Description:
| Organized
to celebrate the bicentennial of Mexican independence, this exhibition
reveals a defining moment of cultural encounter. In the sixteenth
century, European exploration and colonization in the Americas coincided
with the Renaissance rediscovery of classical antiquity, and parallels
were routinely drawn between two great empires-- the Aztec and the Roman.
Masterworks of Aztec sculpture, largely from the collections of the
National Museum of Anthropology and the Museo del Templo Mayor in Mexico
City, are the point of departure for a comparative approach to the
monumental art of empire. |
