Desert Hot Springs, As the culmination of its 2021 online season, Desert Hot Springs Classical Concerts presents a week of online concerts, five consecutive weeknights at 7 pm from May 17-21, A complete schedule, details about the performers, and links to watch each concert can be found at: www.DHSclassicalconcerts.o LOCAL CONCERT SERIES PRESENTS WEEK-LONG FESTIVAL/2021. No tickets or reservations are required, but audience members are encouraged to donate online to support the concert series: www.DHSclassicalconcerts.org/donate

The five-concert videos being presented were recorded in the fall of 2020, mostly in outdoor locations in Desert Hot Springs. “Instead of canceling our concert series during the pandemic, we decided to forge ahead and find new ways of bringing music to local audiences,” said Founder and Artistic Director Danny Holt. “We felt it was meaningful to have artists come here to Desert Hot Springs and record performances at iconic locations like Cabot’sPueblo Museum and The Lautner Compound. These videos highlight our community and give the audience a more dynamic and intimate experience than they might get in a more traditional concert setting,” said Holt.

The concert series plans to resume live, in-person concerts next season. But for now, audiences will have one final chance to watch the 2021 online concerts:
