Getty Garden Concerts for Kids

Saturdays, 23, 4:00 p.m.

Sundays, 24, 4:00 p.m.

Central Garden

I saw no mention of these concerts in the Getty calendar, but visiting their web site today, I saw them highlighted on the front page.

This sounds like an excellent opportunity to get the kids up and out and dancing to the beat while enjoying the beautiful Getty Garden.

From the web site...

Summer fun isn't over yet! Garden Concerts for Kids returns for a second season of cool tunes for fidgety feet in the Getty's Central Garden. This year's series features Sol y Canto, an acclaimed bilingual quintet known for its infectiously delicious songs containing lyrics that will have you singing out loud and dancing along. The beat goes on with Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer, the Grammy-nominated duo that delivers high-energy performances packed with audience participation. All you need to bring is sunscreen and lots of imagination.

Artist Info:

Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer

Together, Cathy, on banjo, and Marcy, on mandolin, have been entertaining families for more than 20 years and are two of the most sought-after children's performers in the country. The five-time Grammy-nominated duo is lauded for their ability to present music for kids that is both complex and accessible, thought-provoking and fun. One critic said it best, "there's nothing namby-pamby" about this dynamic duo!
