Laguna Art Museum is proud to announce a new partnership with Laguna Beach Live!, an organization cherished by music lovers for its work in bringing performances by top-level, professional musicians to the Laguna Beach community. Beginning in June, the museum and Laguna Beach Live! join forces to present an ongoing series of early-evening concerts in the museum’s galleries, a feast of sight and sound. Not only are the galleries an appropriately beautiful setting in which to experience great music, they also boast fine acoustics. The concerts will take place the second Thursday of each month from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. beginning June 14, and are free to museum members and to non-members with museum admission.

The Quartet, consisting of Beth Folsom, soprano violin; Maksim Velichkin, baritone violin; Erin Breen, tenor violin; and Joe McNalley on contrabass violin will perform classical and contemporary works.
