The Industry is proud to announce the 2025/26 season of our Listening Parties, a new series featuring artists as they present live and recorded work, discussing their inspirations in different models of opera.

On Sunday, October 5th at Monk Space, members of our Company - fearless and virtuosic performers known for superhuman feats in the service of bold and experimental opera - join for an evening featuring their past work in Industry productions and current projects.

The artists will speak with The Industry's Tim Griffin on their various inspirations and thoughts on the future of opera as an artform.

We hope you will join us for what promises to be a powerfully evocative evening.

Wild Up, in partnership with Sierra Madre Playhouse, continues its L.A. Composer Series with a bold program that brings together four of LA’s most fearless musicians – Andrew Tholl, violin; Vicki Ray, piano; Marlon Martinez, bass; and Brian Walsh, clarinet/saxophone – who will co-devise a new genre-defying concert-length work on stage in real time, on Friday, October 10, 2025, at Sierra Madre Playhouse. The musical artists, all of whom are also composers and improvisors, will combine traditional notation with improvisation to create a compelling new work grounded in the moment.

The sonic adventure is part of Wild Up’s series spotlighting living composers working in Los Angeles.

Wild Up is “L.A.’s transformative new music chamber orchestra and collective…founded 15 years ago by Christopher Rountree with a seemingly limitless collection of inventive ideas for bringing classical music into the 21st century and beyond” (Los Angeles Times).

For tickets ($12-$35) and information, please call 626.355.4318 or visit www.sierramadreplayhouse.org. Sierra Madre Playhouse is located at 87 West Sierra Madre Boulevard, Sierra Madre, CA 91024.

L.A. Stories brings together local poets, writers, composers, and musicians to celebrate the beauty and diversity of Los Angeles. This music and storytelling show from Helix Collective creates vignettes within the city about surviving and thriving in L.A. We all share this city but it looks different from every vantage point.

Helix Collective’s musicians including flutist Sarah Robinson, oboist Phil Popham, pianist Kathryn Eames, and percussionist Tyler Stell narrate and perform this set of musical stories. These include poetry and stories from local authors as well as a collection of letters from the early 20th Century Los Angeles. These are set to music by composers writing original music for the project.

This performance is made possible in part by the City of Culver City and its Cultural Affairs Commission with support from Sony Pictures Entertainment. The event will take place in the Glorya Kaufman Community Center in the Wende Museum.

Free parking is available in the city lots adjacent to the museum.
