The kind folks who read LAist every week (that’s YOU!) live all over this fantastic city and we try to have a little something for everyone. This week’s classical pick has us hanging out at the Norton Simon Museum in the Pasadena/SGV area for a concert featuring musicians of the Grammy-Award winning Southwest Chamber Music group.

This Saturday’s program includes Charles Ives’ Children’s Day at the Camp Meeting, Schubert’s Shepherd of the Rock (believed to be his last composition) and a transcription of Mahler’s Symphony No. 4 in G Major by Erwin Stein. Those who find the trek a little too far should be relieved to know that the concert repeats on Monday in Downtown at Zipper Hall at the Colburn School.

also in the neighborhood...

The LA Phil's Neighborhood Concert series also continues this Monday at the St. Thomas the Apostle Church. The Neighborhood Concert series is a FREE concert that takes place in a local church playing mostly popular classical pieces.
