Colburn School of Performance Arts, Los Angeles

One of the more prestigious music schools in the nation, Colburn School of Performance Arts is a landmark and a cultural haven in its own right. Offering multiple academic tracks in performance, dance and composition, the school also boasts state-of-the-art facilities ensconced in a rather attractive complex on the main drag of Grand Avenue. The school's beautiful recital hall has been utilized in countless festivals, special programs and student recitals over the years. Furthermore, a majority of the concerts feature the school's own prodigies and staff, while some involve guest artists, sometimes brought in for a single engagement. Most events are open to public and many are free to attend. Consult the school's website for the current goings-on and consider combining your visit here with a browse of a current exhibit at MOCA Grand Ave, located next door. - Jamie Zum
