The Music Academy of the West is in the throes of it's Summer Festival. Currently into it's sixth decade, the Academy was founded to aid in the development of gifted young classical musicians through advanced study with accomplished faculty artists. As the reputation of the Academy grew it moved from Cate School to permanent facilities at it's current location at the Miraflores estate bequeathed to the Academy by Helen Marso. A year long renovation of Hahn Hall and the surrounding campus has resulted in a first class Music Academy rich in architectural history of the facilities along with the Academy's rich musical history and future.
The Academy has welcomed an outstanding group of visiting artist this summer. There are many opportunities to enjoy this local treasure for free Master Classes and Concerts and formal ticketed events.
The following are free to the public:

As a final note of importance about the Music Academy of the West....The Rack is a wonderful little shop on the grounds, featuring gently used women's wear. Lots of designer items, furs, and evening clothes. Next to The Rack is The Treasure House, another little shop filled with antiques, brick-a-brack, sterling, dishware, and many treasures. Both are staffed by Volunteers and stuffed with goodies. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 11-3.
You heard it here! If you want to have an adventure filled summer in the American Riviera on a modest budget for a day, a weekend or a lifetime, tune in again for my next post on one of Santa Barbara's Treasure's...Lotusland!
