Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.

The Getty Museum fires up its free music-spoken word-dance-etc. series on a new night: Saturday Nights at the Getty. (We guess that spending Fridays near the 405 wasn't a great marketing hook for traffic-plagued Angelenos.)

But the eclectic season kicks off on Saturday night with a performance by musician, producer and Beastie Boys collaborator Money Mark and violinist-singer Emily Wells,whose love of rap music and Vivaldi influenced her own distinct musical stylings. 

The season also includes performances by the Living Sisters--the LA singer-songwriter supergroup with Inara George, Becky Stark and Eleni Mandell--on March 13; Rana Santacruz on March 27, and Micachu and the Shapes on April 17.

All concerts begin at 7:30 pm and take place in the Harold M. Williams Auditorium at the Getty. Admission is free, but reservations are required. (For reservations call 310-440-7300 or visit www.getty.edu.) Parking is free after 5:00 pm.
