Santa Monica College's Music Department will present the SMC Applied Music Showcase on Friday, Oct. 31, at 7:30 p.m. in The Eli & Edythe Broad Stage at the SMC Performing Arts Center, 1310 11th Street.
The showcase features students from SMC's Applied Music Program performing songs, instrumental solos, ensemble works and original compositions in diverse styles.
Founded in 2001 by Dr. James Smith and currently directed by Jimmy Cheesman, David Arbury and Janelle DeStefano, the program develops outstanding instrumentalists, vocalists and composers while preparing students for transfer to four-year universities or conservatories.
The Applied Music Program is part of SMC's effort to blend top-tier arts education with high-quality public performances.
Tickets are $10 general admission with a modest service charge, and free for students with any student ID. Advance tickets can be purchased online at smc.edu/tickets or by calling 310-434-3005 Monday-Friday during limited hours.
Tickets may also be purchased starting 45 minutes before the performance at The Broad Stage Box Office at the SMC Performing Arts Center. Free parking is available on premises with seating on a first-arrival basis.
