A Musical Salon for the 21st Century

Our Salastina "home" is an opulent, joyful place of beauty, splendor, and living tradition. By day, we’re world-class performers and studio musicians who’ve played on your favorite films. By night, we’re on a mission to broaden the definition of what classical music was, is, and can be.

Main Series No. 4: The Shostakovich Cycle Continues

The Weinstein Performance Space at Chamber Music OC

If your soul could use a cathartic chakric cleanse, do not miss this hair-raising, spine-tingling, psyche-throttling musical rollercoaster. Dmitri Shostakovich’s Piano Trio No. 2 and String Quartet No. 8 are his best-known and most electrifyingly recognizable chamber works. More than many of his other works, they grab you by the spiritual jugular and don’t let go. (And that’s saying a lot; IYKYK.)

What We Play

Classical, Contemporary, Baroque… if John Cage's infamous 4'33" counts as "Classical Music™," then what doesn't?! When it comes to programming, our guiding principle is simple: we gotta love it, and we gotta wanna share it.

Happy Hours

Music, mingling, mimosas, and munchies… oh my! Join us on Saturdays at 11 AM for intimate, casual salons for the 21st Century.

Vital Sounds

Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for the past three years, Salastina musicians and guest artists have provided private, virtual bedside concerts for patients in UCLA's ICU.

Sounds Promising
