Jacaranda Music is a series of classical music adventures that awaken curiosity and discovery with a spirit of inclusion. By engaging a wide range of audiences, these curated concerts based in Santa Monica since 2003, advance the repertoire of soloists and ensembles with live music, recordings, music videos, and education.
Immediately hailed by LA Weekly as “the right music in the right place at the right time,” they named Jacaranda Best Contemporary Classical Series In 2016: “Wonderfully un-stodgy curation by founders Patrick Scott and Mark Alan Hilt and performances by acclaimed and expert musicians make for ear-cleansing dives into bracingly new music composed by living composers, as well as unplayed-to-death music of the past century.”
The series is devoted to stimulating listeners with ingenious musical experiences. Alex Ross’s blog The Rest Is Noise wrote “season after season the twentieth century comes to life in Jacaranda’s programs.” Jacaranda also champions music written since 2000, as well as neglected earlier music with strong potential interest for today’s listeners. The “powerful” U.S. premiere of a co-commission with Britain’s Aldeburgh Festival, led by composer Peter Eötvös, was also cited by the LA Times for its “national significance.” These concerts are dedicated to advancing the repertoire of soloists and diverse ensembles through live music, recordings, and education.
