Time to Make your Music Academy Plans

Changes have been sprouting up fast and furious in the less than three years since Shauna Quill took over at Music Academy of the West as president and CEO, including big turnovers in faculty, some trimming and realignment of the performances and master classes, as well as a staffing reconfiguration, including new Vice President of Artistic Planning Indigo Fischer and the new post of Creative and Artistic Advisor held by longtime faculty pianist Conor Hanick. 

This year brings an even more radical adjustment, in that much of the first two weeks of the season are now focused on a new program offered for exceptional musicians ages 14-18 from across the country, truncating the traditional fellows-powered program to six weeks. 

What hasn’t changed? The exceptional nature of the summer festival that brings together spectacular faculty, young musicians, a huge variety of concert and other performance settings, and the most picturesque campus – all within walking distance of much of Montecito.

With subscription tickets already on sale and single tickets being made available April 30, now is the time to secure your selections to avoid sellouts squelching your plans.
