New Performing Arts Seasons Debut in Long Beach
Classic birthdays, holiday traditions and big-name, award-winning productions highlight the upcoming performing arts season in Long Beach. The city boasts all manner of orchestras, vocal groups and theater companies–both dramatic and musical–many of which will begin new productions this fall. Check out the listings below and get your calendar filled with arts, culture and entertainment to last well into 2025!
LONG BEACH SYMPHONY
Celebrating its 90th anniversary, the Long Beach Symphony kicks off the 2024-25 season Oct. 5 in the Terrace Theater with a performance of Beethoven’s Egmont Overture. The choice is significant since Egmont was the first piece the LB Symphony ever performed back in 1934. Along with its Classical Series, the symphony will also offer its popular POPS Series as well, including tributes to Kings of Soul, Women of Rock and 80’s Dance Party. For the full calendar, visit the Long Beach Symphony webpage.
MUSICA ANGELICA BAROQUE ORCHESTRA
Acclaimed as Southern California’s preeminent historical performance music ensemble, Musica Angelica returns for its 32nd season. Music Angelica–which performs at the First Congregational Church of Long Beach (241 Cedar Ave)--will perform the music of Bach, Mozart, and Vivaldi. In addition, there will be popular holiday favorites such as Christmas in Vienna and the Easter season’s St. Matthew Passion. For dates, details and tickets, visit the Musica Angelica website.
