A Jewish musical festival will take place on the Santa Monica Pier this weekend. The free concert will have Jewish folk dancing, food and a wide range of music. A classical trio will perform new and developing songs, and Stefani Valadez will play Ladino music.
The Santa Monica College Madison Project director Dale Franzen will receive an honor for “Local Hero” after she was nominated by the World Festival of Sacred Music.
The event is part of SMC’s new Music Academy and Performing Arts Center, which is currently under construction and is scheduled to open in January 2007.
