A lively local favorite returns to the beautiful and historic Pierpont Inn for an afternoon of tradition. Guests are welcomed with a full afternoon tea: warm scones, delicate finger sandwiches, and a tempting array of pastries, served in one of Ventura’s most gracious settings. The music comes courtesy of a spirited brass quintet, Ventura Music Festival Brass, whose program moves easily between classical favorites, pops, and jazz standards.

There is a right way to spend a Sunday afternoon, and this is it. Tea & Trumpets is back at the Pierpont Inn with a full afternoon tea and a spirited brass quintet playing everything from classical to jazz standards. It kicks off our October series, and it sells out for a reason. Sunday, October 11.

This is the one the bluegrass people have been waiting for. Michael Cleveland and Jason Carter are the two most decorated fiddle players in IBMA history, with 18 Fiddle Player of the Year titles between them, and they are sharing a stage in Mission Park on Saturday, October 17. Outdoors, in the middle of Ventura, with two of the best in the world.

What happens when conservatory-trained virtuosos decide the rules no longer apply? TAKE3 answers that with violin, cello, and piano, jumping between Bach and arena rock without blinking. They play more than 50 dates a year and are known as much for their humor as their chops. Friday, October 16 at Ventura Music Hall.

Classical Edge is our series for people who want the story behind the notes. On October 15, Nuvi Mehta and pianist Reiko Uchida take on the birth of Impressionism: how it started, who broke the rules first, and what it sounded like when they did. Performance and discovery in equal measure, in the intimate setting of the Museum of Ventura County. 7 PM.
