A Seasonal Start

Camerata Pacifica launched its 34th season in fine style at the Music Academy’s Hahn Hall with works by Beethoven, Mozart, and Elgar.

Musical lovers turned out in force to see the chamber music group founded by Irishman Adrian Spence at the age of 25, with an inaugural performance at the Lobero as the Bach Camerata.

There are seven more concerts in the entertaining series, which also sees concerts in San Marino, Thousand Oaks, and Los Angeles.

Earlier in the week, 55 Premiere Circle members gathered at the Cathedral Oaks Village Clubhouse to fête Adrian and hear the latest lineup.

Among the chamber devotees gathering en masse were Ana Papakhian, Peter and Linda Beuret, George and Susan Northrup, Robert Weinman, Mary Dorra, NancyBell Coe, Ed DeLoreto, and Edith Clark.
