Make Music Los Angeles rocks Santa Monica Place with an afternoon of free music concerts

Summer Scene @ The Place continues to heat up the summer with an afternoon of free concerts held at Santa Monica Place. The concerts are presented in collaboration with the county-wide initiative Make Music Los Angeles (MMLA), a non-profit organization that celebrates the cross-cultural influence of music and art. Santa Monica Place is one of the featured locations in Los Angeles County to host a public music event of this kind.

MMLA will present a line-up of talented musicians from various music genres ranging from acoustic to alternative rock. Featured artists include: the acoustic sounds of Michael Greenberg (accompanied by Cameron Tyler) and the alternative rock band Belmont Lights. 

Inaugurated in 1982, MMLA is based on France’s Fête de la Musique, a national musical holiday recognized on the Summer Solstice (June 21). The non-profit organization engages all communities of Los Angeles in an annual cross-cultural celebration of the power of music and art to enrich lives through education and musical performances in neighborhoods across the county. MMLA takes place simultaneously with similar festivities in more than 700 cities around the world. For more information, please visit www.MakeMusicLA.org

The concerts will take place in Center Plaza at the shopping center.

Summer Scene @ The Place is held on select weekends in June, July and August providing great live music, outdoor sports and fitness activities, art, kid’s events and more. For more on Summer Scene @ The Place and Santa Monica Place, please visit www.SantaMonicaPlace.com
