Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart may have died poor, but his birthday is still being celebrated in grand fashion.
On Saturday, June 24, the Santa Monica Public Library will host the Bright Light Chamber Players in light of the maestro’s 250th birthday.
Award-winning actor Jane M. Robbins will perform “Mozart’s Sister,” which highlights the brother-sister European tours of the Mozart children with their father. The Bright Light Chamber Players — Barbara Shofler, Brian Leonard and Whitney Griggs Raleigh — will follow with a performance of Mozart’s Piano Trio in C Major. “Summer Saturdays” concerts will also take place on July 22, Aug. 19 and Sept. 9 at 2:30 p.m. in the Santa Monica Public Library’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Auditorium, 601 Santa Monica Blvd. All are free.
Doors will open 20 minutes before the concert begins. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
