I attended a pianist concert and it was the most delightful and pleasant experience I’ve had at a venue. Fantastic.
A marvelous resource for our little village Thank you Peter
This is a wonderful place to hear music! Many exciting concerts and recitals, including new music by the Monterey County Composers' Forum.
It's calm and peaceful place. I see squirrels run in this place every time I visit. A dance studio and music hall are surrounded by beautiful nature. The environment of this arts institute inspires creativity.
