Educational & Community Engagement
We proudly acknowledge our commitment to being both an educational and a musical institution through our collaborative partnership with the Long Beach Unified School District and the Long Beach Public Libraries. Our talented musicians engage with schools and students across all nine city council districts, introducing them to the beauty of Baroque music.
Musica Angelica is also working alongside the Long Beach Public Libraries to offer early music concerts and discussions for the community. These complimentary concerts are designed to be inclusive for all families and have been performed at the Billie Jean King Main Library, the Dana Neighborhood Library, the Los Altos Neighborhood Library, and the Michelle Obama Neighborhood Library.
Our school outreach program includes the history of baroque music, including an overview of baroque, classical and modern composers, discussion of the period instruments and their differences from modern instruments, and the importance and value of music in our lives. Musica Angelica has conducted site visits to LBUSD middle and high schools including Jordan High School, Millikan High School, and Wilson High School. They have also completed master classes with the UCLA early music program, LBUSD Harmony Project, Neighborhood Long Beach, and the Long Beach Youth Orchestra. Musica Angelica believes in the importance of music education by exposing students to this magnificent art form, students will learn about communication, creativity, and cooperation. They will have the opportunity to practice these skills, enrich their lives, and experience the world from a new perspective.
In addition to our school outreach programs and master classes, Musica Angelica invites LBUSD middle school and high school music students to their live concerts in Long Beach. These students are given up four complimentary tickets per concert. Plus, undergraduate college and university music students are invited to attend a free concert in Long Beach or Los Angeles. Thousands of students and their families have participated in this program. Musica Angelica is excited to help future generations discover the importance of early music and continue the legacy of Bach, Telemann, Vivaldi, and other early music composers.
Beyond our educational outreach programs, Musica Angelica has been collaborating with the Long Beach Public Libraries to bring early music concerts and discussions to the community. These free concerts are inclusive for all families and include a Q&A with our artists. During the 2024/2025 season Musica Angelica held their Community Concert Series at the Billie Jean King Library, the Dana Neighborhood Library, the Los Altos Neighborhood Library, and the Michelle Obama Library. We are excited to announce that for the 2025/2026 season we will be expanding our efforts and working with the Santa Monica Public Libraries and the Wende Museum along with the Long Beach Public Libraries to bring early music throughout Southern California.
