Barrett Hall at the Pasadena Conservatory of Music >> TICKETS AND MORE INFORMATION
This program celebrates the evocative power of French music for strings, flute, and harp. At its heart is the rarely heard Jean Cras, a naval officer-composer whose music lends modern color to Romanticism. Alongside him: Saint-Saëns’ elegance, Ravel’s refined sensuality, and Debussy — who bristled at the label Impressionist — offering sound worlds more exacting, expressive, and immersive than any Monet fridge magnet.

Before the concert hall, there was the salon. Before the grand piano, the fortepiano. This program invites you into the sound world of Beethoven and Schubert as they themselves might have heard it: with warm gut strings, responsive transitional bows, and a fortepiano’s round touch. On the program: Beethoven’s Sonata for Cello and Piano in A Major and Sonata for Violin and Piano in F Major, “Spring” as well as Schubert’s Piano Trio in B Flat Major.

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.
