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.

PercussionFest

Thu, Jul 3, 7:30 PM • Granada Theatre • $35–125

A sonic adventure for all ages!

Feel the beat! Experience the exciting world of percussion in this visually stunning, family-friendly extravaganza where seeing the music is just as thrilling as hearing it.

Watch as everyday objects transform into amazing instruments and colorful motion, while synchronized percussionists create rhythmic wonders. Featuring movements from Grammy-nominated composer Andy Akiho’s shimmering Sculptures to a west coast premiere of The Bells by rock legend Stewart Copeland (of The Police), this multi-sensory adventure combines theatrical lighting, short films, and jaw-dropping performances that will captivate viewers of all ages.

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?

PROKOFIEV Peter and the Wolf
