A series of free lunchtime concerts will bring live classical music to the UCLA campus during the summer of 2024. The annual Henry J. Bruman Summer Chamber Music Festival will feature four concerts, each taking place from noon to 1 p.m. in Lani Hall at the Schoenberg Music Building.

In particular, Villa Albertine is proud to announce the Piano Quintets concert that will take place on August 1st (12:00 pm PDT – 1:00 pm PDT).

The festival was founded in 1988 by Professor Henry J. Bruman (1913–2005), who sought to introduce new audiences to chamber music at informal concerts on the UCLA campus. The festival is made possible by the Henry J. Bruman Trust, Professors Wendell E. Jeffrey and Bernice M. Wenzel, by a gift in memory of Raymond E. Johnson, and with the support of the UCLA Center for 17th-& 18th-Century Studies.
