| 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 under the direction of our Music Director, Briony Buys.
But the Hacienda has always been filled with music and it wasn't all classical! When the Loos Family purchased the property from Mojica, Screen Writer 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.
