26 years and thriving

We’re so lucky to live in Southern California, where art is created from the unique materials of our own world, our own time, our own lives. No need to bow to the East—we’re different, and we’re happy about that! Here, we unabashedly embrace overt beauty. Here, we know that melody is the newest and most exhilarating thing going around the music scene, and that the best music moves us and uplifts our spirit. Pacific Serenades couldn’t have happened anywhere else, and it didn’t. Rooted in this rich artistic soil of Southern California, we have grown over the past 25 years into an indisputable feature of LA culture. And not just here, but everywhere—many of the 106 works we have commissioned and premiered have scattered on the winds and have truly entered the chamber music repertoire. Yes! Our music, sown right here in Southern California by Pacific Serenades, is being heard round the world, proof that beauty—in music that sings, that touches, that inspires—still matters, today, as always.
