THE MISSION OF CLASSICAL CROSSROADS, Inc. is to support the great art of classical music by presenting inspired performances of chamber music concerts of the highest possible artistic quality. The concerts are free and welcoming to all regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic strata, sexual orientation, and age. They provide a meeting place where performing artists and diverse community members share their appreciation of classical music. For those unable to attend in person — for myriad reasons including advanced age, physical or mental challenges, illness, transportation, and geographical location — Classical Crossroads provides access by simultaneously live-streaming the concerts, striving for the highest possible audio and video quality with a simple, audience-member's view that doesn't distract from the artistry of the performances. In addition, Classical Crossroads advances diversity and inclusiveness in classical music with outreach concerts for youths in underserved areas, to inspire lifelong involvement. | ||
Sunsetting of The Interludes Talented rising artists from around the world are selected at the Beverly Hills National Auditions and in the past have been presented monthly on Saturday afternoons in the South Bay on The Interludes concert series at First Lutheran Church & School. These concerts have also been presented on Friday evenings on the Music By The Sea recital series and, from January through June, on Beverly Hills' Music In The Mansion recital series in Greystone Mansion. Plans for the Beverly Hills TV Department to videotape these concerts at Greystone Mansion and premiering them on BHTV proved infeasible because of COVID-19 travel restrictions. Classical Crossroads' Board made the difficult decision to sunset The Interludes series. However, as a member of the Consortium of Southern California Chamber Music Presenters, Classical Crossroads' will continue to draw artists and ensembles from winners of the Beverly Hills National Auditions for its First Fridays at First! ~ fff and Second Sundays at Two series.
