   If you make the effort to look for it, there is a remarkable amount of   
   free live music, at least in big city like Los Angeles.   
      
   A few weeks ago I went to a free concert on a Sunday afternoon at the   
   Colburn conservatory.  Performers were a mix of accomplished students,   
   instrumentalists from the LA Philharmonic, and vocalists from the LA   
   Opera.  The program was challenging, the musicianship suberb, and the   
   acoustics stunning.  Not a microphone or amplifier in sight.  Beautiful.   
   I need to attend more of these next year.   
      
   Schools are out for the Summer, but there are outdoor festivals of every   
   stripe throught the city.  One of my favorites is the Central Avenue   
   Jazz fest.   
      
   There is nothing like the sound of live music.   
      
   Enjoy.
