Happy Hour No. 133: Sounds Mysterious with Brian Lauritzen
Saturday, May 23, 2026 @ 3 PM - West LA + Livestream
The Wende Museum’s A-Frame Theater >> TICKETS AND MORE INFORMATION
Brian Lauritzen leads our audience in our patented game of Guess The Composer. Though we’ve practiced every note, we still don’t know who wrote the music. In this audience-favorite musical guessing game, even the performers are in the dark about the composers’ identities. The audience joins us in sleuthing out the clues. Is that a hint of Haydn? A whiff of of Walton? A shade of Shostakovich? Or is it a total red herring? We’ll guess together, laugh together, and delight in the fact that classical music is more about curiosity and connection than the comfort of the familiar. (And yes: you’ve guessed the composers’ identities correctly more than we have.) This Happy Hour is free to attend.
