Pacifica in the Museum

It was back to nature for Camerata Pacifica when it hosted its monthly concert at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History rather than its usual venue at the Music Academy’s Hahn Hall, which is undergoing renovation.

But the dynamic duo of percussionist Ji Hye Jung and pianist Soyeon Kate Lee were both in fine form with a program featuring Emma O’Halloran, Caroline Shaw, Rachmaninoff’s “Variations on a Theme of Corelli, Op. 42,” Joseph Schwantner, Christopher Cerrone, and Chopin’s “Mazurka in A Minor, Op. 17, No.4.”

A fun new locale…
