Things are pretty quiet in LA this week and next, but you can check out the last Sundays Live of the year at the LACMA, tonight at 6 PM.

There are a lot of Christmas-themed concerts scheduled for this week! If you're looking for something tonight, we encourage you to go check out Kirshbaum performing tonight with LACO at Royce Hall. We've split it up into three categories: Messiah, Nutcracker, and Other.

After 20+ years, the Boston Symphony finally makes its way back to Los Angeles, for a performance this Saturday night at the Disney Hall. We got to chat with Mark Volpe, the Managing Director of the BSO on the orchestra, the program, and on the LA music scene.

Ralph Kirshbaum is kind of a big deal, and is performing with LACO this weekend.

The Da Camera Society is putting on a festival of Strads! To celebrate the 300th anniversary, the Da Camera Society is bringing Martin Chalifour (concertmaster of the LA Phil) to Cicada Restaurant in Downtown.

There's something about 9th Symphonies that resonate with listeners (Beethoven, Dvorak, Bruckner, Schubert), and if you have yet to experience it for yourself, go to the OC Performing Arts Center this weekend for some Mahler.

When your duo gets mentioned in the same breath as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his sister Maria Anna (Nannerl) Mozart, you're kind of a big deal. Katia and Marielle Labèque are no strangers to Los Angeles and have performed at every major venue in L.A. in the last 25 years.

We have a line-up of classical picks for the opera buffs (and fans of the Greeks and Shakespeare).

Everyone likes to dress up and go to the theatre from time to time, and we encourage you to go all out and go to the Disney Hall tonight for their annual Halloween Silent Film. Costumes are not uncommon at the Disney Hall for this event, and add to a lively atmosphere.

All this talk about Siri reminds us of good our friend Hal from 2001: A Space Odyssey. You know what else does? Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra, which the Pacific Symphony is performing this Thursday Friday and Saturday at 8 PM.
