In CAMA’s 100th Season, the Women’s Board brought back the ever-popular Pre-Concert Lecture Series for the International Series. For CAMA’s 2019-2020 Season, five pre-concert lectures have been arranged in partnership with the Santa Barbara Library, and one in partnership with the New Vic Theatre (for more information see below).
Also, as part of CAMA’s Centennial Celebration, the Women’s Board has created a 20-minute historical presentation of CAMA’s 100 years of bringing the world’s finest classical music to Santa Barbara. The Speaker’s Bureau addresses service and social clubs, and can be modified to the needs of the organization.
