JAWS @ 50!

Sat, Jun 21, 7:30 PM • Granada Theatre • $35–125

Celebrate the 50th anniversary of one of the greatest motion pictures of all time, JAWS, with the full power of the Academy Festival Orchestra, conducted by Ben Palmer.

Directed by Academy Award®-winner Steven Spielberg, JAWS set the standard for edge-of-your-seat suspense, quickly becoming a cultural phenomenon and forever changing the movie industry. When the seaside community of Amity finds itself under attack by a dangerous great white shark, the town’s chief of police, a young marine biologist and a grizzled shark hunter embark on a desperate quest to destroy the beast before it strikes again.

Featuring an unforgettable score that evokes pure terror, JAWS remains one of the most influential and gripping adventures in motion picture history.

Mosher Guest Artist Randall Goosby

Wed, Jun 25, 7:30 PM • Hahn Hall • $65–70

The 2022 Avery Fisher Career Grant recipient brings his signature blend of technical virtuosity and profound musicality to a decadent program of violin sonatas and chamber music.

Goosby is joined by fellows and two Academy alums: his brother, cellist Miles Goosby, and pianist Zhu Wang, creating musical connections that bridge family bonds, artistic lineage, and Music Academy history in one extraordinary evening.

Peter & the Wolf (Pedro y el Lobo)

Sat, Jul 19, 11 AM • Lobero Theatre • $25-50 Adults, $10 Children

Bring the whole family for this special bilingual production of Prokofiev’s symphonic tale for children at the Lobero Theatre, conducted by César Cañón, with acting and narration in both English (Michael Boudewyns) and Spanish from the vaudeville-inspired troop Really Inventive Stuff.

A young boy named Peter (strings) disobeys his grandfather (bassoon) and climbs over the garden wall. When he encounters a wolf (horn), with quick thinking and the help of his friends – a bird (flute), a duck (oboe), and a cat (clarinet) – will Peter save the day?
