Santa Monica Symphony continues its tradition of free performances. The season offers varying "Scenes from Life", exploring the many ways music reflects our shared human experience.

The opening concert, Scenes from Life: Movement, highlights the vitality of American dances with music by Copland, Bernstein, Márquez, and rising composer Alistair Coleman.
