Mission

The mission of the Carmel Music Society is to present the best classical music performances on the Monterey Peninsula and to use these to foster a greater appreciation of classical music among area students.

The Big Idea

Carmel Music Society offers four free balcony seats at Sunset Center at any of seven concerts in the season, These seats must include one K-12 student and one adult.

Seats are available as walk-up at the door one hour before start time. This is on a per concert basis not seasonal.

I was particularly impressed with Ilya Yakushev's playing and his spoken introduction for each piece recounting his reasons for choosing to play it.
