Some concerts click because of the music. Some take flight because of the artists performing. Some are successful because of the venue. Once in a great while, all three work and you have something special. We offer Cal Phil Festival on the Green at The Arboretum, where you can arrive early on a Saturday evening, listen to jazz, and picnic before the performance. Presented by Sunset Magazine, reservations are encouraged.  The schedule features the following themes:

"America the Beautiful", on June 26, featuring works ranging from Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue to Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture (fireworks included) and Copland's Appalachian Spring.

Andrew Lloyd Webber Goes to Italy" on July 10, presenting excerpts not only from Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera, Cats, and Evita but Verdi's La Traviata and Puccini's Turandot and La Boheme.

"John Williams & Friends" on July 24, with excerpts from classic film scores like Star Wars, Superman, The Terminal and ET, plus excerpts from Wagner's Ring cycle of operas and a laser show.

"Frank, Tony & The Maestro" on August 7, where the orchestra and a soloist guaranteed to do justice to "Ol' Blue Eyes" himself will perform hits made famouse by Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett, as well as excerpts from Rimsky Korsakov's Scheherazade and Elgar's Enigma Variations.

"Beethoven & Broadway" on August 21, where the magical world of Disney meets the classical lion, Ludwig van Beethoven, with works from Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King and The Little Mermaid...to The Music  Man and Les Miserables...to the Leonore Overture #3 and Ode to Joy.
