ABOUT
Great music comes alive! Enliven your Sunday afternoons with Maestro Vener, the orchestra and some of the greatest music ever written. Like the silver panels of Walt Disney Concert Hall, your spirits will swoop, soar and sparkle as the music resounds around and within you.
Maestro Vener and Cal Phil reinvent the concert for today’s listener.

These Sunday afternoon concerts, unrivaled in their appeal, allow you to beat summer’s heat in style.

Plus, you’ll learn something special about the music on the bill for that afternoon. Don’t miss this fabulous opportunity to make your musical experience even more fulfilling.
