In 1926, Dene Denny and Hazel Watrous, two women who lived in Carmel, decided to enhance the cultural life of the Monterey Peninsula by creating a local concert association. Until that time, private recitals and the occasional touring concert sponsored by metropolitan booking agents were the only performances of music in the community. Dene and Hazel 
experimented by booking their own concerts. Those events were so successful that they led a group of local friends and music lovers to establish the Carmel Music Society - a non-profit organization devoted to bringing the finest talent in the classical music repertoire to the area.
Now incorporating the Mozart Society of California, The Carmel Music Society presents yearly a season of world-class performances, and also a competition for aspiring young musicians. Performances are given variously in Sunset Center and at All Saints Church.
Please make a season ticket purchase for either the "Classical at Sunset" or the "Mozart Series" or both series combined, and join us in ensuring the future of our fine musical tradition. You can view a list of all performers since 1927 by selecting menu item "Past Performances".
If you are a Carmel visitor, single tickets are available for any concert. Call the office for details at 831-625-9938. ( M-F, 9:00 until 12:30)
