To conclude its 45th season, the Santa Ynez Valley Concert Series is preparing for two more shows at St. Mark’s Church in Los Olivos. The organization’s quest is to deliver world-class music to the valley.
“Our concerts enrich, educate, and inspire audiences throughout the Santa Ynez Valley and surrounding communities, with complimentary tickets available to students,” according to its website.
Italian tunes will take the forefront on March 1, performed by tenor Giorgi Guliashvili and pianist Carrie-Ann Matheson.
