Two remarkable new cultural events have been launched in Malibu within weeks of one another. The Malibu Coast Music Festival just completed its inaugural season and I think anybody who attended any of these concerts felt that something truly delicious was being added to our community’s arts diet, thanks to Maria Newman and Scott Hosfeld. The closing concert at the Malibu Synagogue felt like Ojai, if not Tanglewood. It was world class music making. If you love great music and missed this year, start planning for next year.
Coming up next week, come out and see Robert Altman introduce his award-winning “Prairie Home Companion” at the premiere of the Malibu Celebration of Film, our community’s salute to the world’s festival-winning films. The best of the best! As a co-founder, I can tell you that with the support and enthusiasm we’ve already received from the community, we’ll be here every October.
