This three-week-long summer concert series has been around more than 50 years. Enjoy the sweet sounds of 17th-century masterpieces, while familiarizing yourself with a town famous for its scenery, lifestyle and local attractions. The atmosphere is casual but the music is black-tie. Venues include the Sunset Theater, All Saints Church, Carmel Mission Basilica, The Church in the Forest in Pebble Beach, and The Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa in Monterey. The musical director and conductor will be Bruno Weil, director of the Carmel Bach Festival since 1992. The concertmaster is Elizabeth Wallfisch, internationally known for her expertise in 18th-century music.
