 Los
Angeles Music Week, Incorporated is a non-profit 501(c)3,
community based
outreach
program, now in its Sixteenth
year
of service. Each year during the first two weeks of December, Los
Angeles Music Week honors the various
contributions of local landmark
artists of all genres and works exhaustively to provide equitable
access to music education for at risk children and youth. LAMW
shares the
history
of
music
in Los Angeles with children
and participants, noting
the part this city plays in shaping music
internationally. There are several year-round dynamic events,
namely Opening Ceremony, City Council Day, Children's Day,
the Awards Luncheon and many relevant local events. L.A. Music Week is
an instrument of unity,
building bridges to the
diverse
citizenry while enhancing local tourism. All contents are Los
Angeles Music Week' exclusive intellectual property. Permission must be

The Artistic Mission of Los Angeles Music Week Fulfilling the motto, "An Instrument of Unity, " Los Angeles Music Week serves all the residents of the Greater Los Angeles area, including its surrounding basins. The performances, projects and events impact people of diverse cultures, ages, ethnicities, religions and socioeconomic groups. The scope of events offers Angelenos opportunities to hear musical genres that they have never experienced and invites them to explore venues in various parts of the city. The educational activities of LAMW are enabled in elementary, middle and high schools by donatng instruments, music instruction, mentoring, field trips and/or school supplies. LAMW takes an active role in Los Angeles' cultural tourism industry by offering a wide variety of performances that showcase the city's musical heritage. Due to the drastic
cutbacks in music curricula in schools over the past decade, the
majority
of the city's children know little or nothing about the rich musical
heritage
of the city they live in and have no scope of the musical genres
available
to them, from classical to jazz to ethnic musics. Many children
have
very few musical skills or lack the resources for acquiring them.
LAMW's program elements, such as field trips, in-school presentations
and
opportunities to interface with living musical legends, broaden musical
understanding and have created musical bridges between the communities
over the past twelve years. The sponsors and
partnerships
listed on this page dutifully enable LAMW to accomplish the
educational
goals and facilitate field trips for the school children in order to
link
music with other aspects of culture and learning. The children
derive
so much pride and motivation from learning how many famous musicians
from
all aspects of the music business grew up in their own
communities.
Face-to-face dialogue with successful living legends gives them the
impetus
to explore their own God-given talents and capabilities, inspiring them
to learn. The Children's Day field trips open up a world of
amazing wonder and possibility. Will you place an Ad in our Souvenir

Grand Performances Summer Festival
When: Mid-June through mid-October
Where: California Plaza
The Groove:
At lunchtime, hundreds of Angelenos put down their work and take a
cultural break with a bit of fresh air. Grand Performances presents
40-plus free performing
arts events — music, dance and theater — as
multicultural as their audience, giving local talent
a chance to shine
and bringing global stars to this center of government, business and
culture.
Ford
Amphitheatre Summer Season
When: June to mid-October.
Where: The Ford Amphitheatre
The Groove:
Imagine watching dance, comedy, film and music performances in the
midst
of California weather, cypresses and chaparral, courtesy of The
Los Angeles County Arts
Commission. The best part: this 1,241-seat
outdoor amphitheater guarantees that no
person is more than 96 feet
away from the stage.
Pershing Square Summer Concert Series
When: June through late September on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Where: Pershing Square, Downtown LA
The Groove:
In the high-rise heart of Downtown is a palm tree oasis known as
Pershing Square
where the summertime brings neighbors, tourists and
professionals together for lunchtime concerts,
films on Fridays, kids
events and sizzling Salsa Sundays. On Wednesday nights,
the stage will
host a variety of bands.
Live Music at Hollywood & Highland
When: June through late August on Tuesdays
Where: Babylon Courtyard at Hollywood & Highland Center
The Groove:
Wine, jazz and moonlight…what more could you ask for? This summer
series gives you a chance to hobnob with the coolest cats of jazz while
sampling the gifts
of Bacchus and helping to end world hunger, all at
the same time. Although it is a free event,
wine tasting donations
benefit Project Angel Food.
Twilight
Dance and Music at the Santa Monica Pier
When: Late June through late August
Where: Santa Monica Pier
The Groove:
Hawaii, Jamaica, Britain, Argentina, Africa…these are just a handful of
the
exotic locations represented by the Twilight Dance and Music
concert series this summer.
So when you are finished taking in the city
lights on the Pier’s famous Ferris wheel,
check out the rock, pop,
jazz, blues and plenty of dance music rocking the boardwalk.
Due to
limited parking, the Santa Monica Pier is offering a bike
valet
starting at 6:30 p.m. on concert nights.
Summer Sunset Music Festival in Culver City
When: Mid July through early September
Where: City Hall Courtyard, Culver City
The Groove:
The sun’s not the only thing that’s going down in Culver City during
the
summer. When the day ends, the music begins, bringing you an
eclectic array of musical
offerings including classic rock, bluegrass
and even zydeco. Steps away from convenient
parking and plenty of
restaurants, this series gives you no excuse to miss out on the music.
Also I Like to Rock at the Hammer Museum
When: TBD
Where: Hammer Museum
The Groove:
Indie 103.1 hand-picks local upcoming bands
to perform at the Hammer’s
outdoor courtyard. In the past,
bands such as Sea Wolf and Tokyo Police
Club have played
to a packed crowd. 2009 dates haven’t been posted yet,
but check their site for updates.

The Fifty Second Street School Music Department Fifty Second Street Elementary School, located in Local District 7, is a reservoir of musical opportunities, ripened by rigorous instruction, interactive assemblies and varied experiences that expose students to a diversity of standards-based knowledge. A large percentage of the student body is now taking instrumental music instruction either privately, or through the school’s music department. This has made a tremendous difference in developing metacognition as well as a higher level of critical thinking across the curriculum. 52nd. is graced by two highly talented music educators, Mr. Erichavelli, who teaches all instrumental music classes, and Mr. William Marshall, a 2006 Music Week honoree. Both gentlemen enable and enlighten students regarding music theory, music history as well as music appreciation. There are also periodic music assemblies which enrich student achievement through classical music, chamber music, cultural multi-genre music, musical quartets, as well as exposure to theatre arts and visual arts workshops, either on site or through participation in local venues. Therefore, Fifty Second Street Elementary School is growing a community of interactive, enthusiastic learners who are reaching their academic goals through the sponsorship of Los Angeles Music Week. Now, more students have equitable access to instrumental music instruction, as well as music classes and choral instruction. |
