What's On Stage in June at The Granada Theatre Image

June at The Granada Theatre features a dynamic lineup of shows the entire community can enjoy, including the kick off of the Music Academy of the West's summer Festival Orchestra Series, a performance by the Santa Barbara Symphony, and the final concert in this season's Granada Theatre Concert Series.

In their long-awaited concert on Saturday, June 16 and Sunday, June 17, the Santa Barbara Symphony will perform the score for The Red Violin while the film screens live on the theater's spectacular 4K digital cinema system. In addition to the Academy Award for its score, the film won the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film in 2000. This is rescheduled after being postponed from its January performance dates.

On Monday, June 18, the Australian roots and jam band John Butler Trio+ takes The Granada Theatre stage, with guests Mama Kin Spender. The music of the John Butler Trio+ mixes rootedness and rootlessness, pain and celebration in a way that is utterly beguiling. One of the most successful recording artists Australia has ever produced and a musician whose reputation has begun to rock the waters of both Europe and America, the album and music are a worldwide hit.

The Music Academy of the West launches their summer Festival Orchestra Series with Beethoven's Sixth on Saturday, June 30 at The Granada Theatre. The performance is by the Academy Festival Orchestra with conductor Larry Rachleff. The concert will feature Berloiz' Le corsairs; Falla's The Three-Cornered Hat, Suite No. 2; and will conclude with Beethoven's Symphony No. 6 "Pastoral." Additional Music Academy performances at the Granada run throughout the summer 2018; check the schedule of events for dates.
