Musical Interludes at Descanso

Descanso Gardens has mastered making cultured evenings feel faintly romantic, and this after-hours concert series might be its dreamiest offering yet. For two nights, Musical Interludes: Night fills the gardens with nocturnes, chamber music and lightly spooky storytelling as audiences wander the grounds after dark. Performed by musicians from the Pasadena Conservatory of Music, the program sounds elegant without tipping into music to nap to. Mostly, though, this is an excuse to linger in one of Los Angeles’s prettiest spaces at twilight, which is really the entire point.
