| La Senora's Concerts cover two key historical eras: |
In remembrance of Jose Mojica --afamous Mexican opera star who builtour Hacienda withits 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 -- duringwhich Santa Monica Canyon was to becomeworld-famousfor its"Salon Era" where writers, composers, philosophers and scientist expatriates includingHuxley andEinstein intermingled. The "Gershwin Boys" and Cole Porter all took their turn at Anita'spiano during those afternoons.In fond remembrance, today, La Senora'sCabaret Suppers ofLatin, 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.
