The Santa Monica College Madison Performance Series will take its act to Canoga Park on July 19.
The series, currently in its fourth year, is co-producing a free concert at the Madrid Theatre that will feature critically acclaimed soloist Suzanna Guzmán. A family matinee performance featuring Guzmán in an interactive mini-recital will be held at 2 p.m. before she is joined by the internationally-acclaimed Debussy Trio at 7 p.m.
Guzmán, an east Los Angeles native who was recently honored as one of the nation’s 12 “outstanding Latinos in music,” is a mezzo-soprano and principal soloist with many international opera companies. The Debussy Trio has performed a repertoire that includes styles from French Impressionism to American jazz-fusion all over the world.
No reservations are needed for either concert. For information about the concert, call (310) 434-3431. The Madrid Theatre is located at 21622 Sherman Way in Canoga Park.
SMC started the Madison Performance Series to introduce new audiences to the type of programming that will be put on at a 500-seat performing arts center that will be built at the college’s historic Madison site in central Santa Monica. Target Arts Live and The city of Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Department have recently joined SMC to co-produce the series.
