Area Attractions - Free Garden Concerts for Kids at The Getty Center

 Getty’s free summer family program series, Garden Concerts for Kids, is back! Kicking off August 3 and running through August 18, these outdoor concerts are perfect for audiences seeking free activities to enjoy with the family. 

 

Garden Concerts for Kids

 

An annual summer program, Garden Concerts for Kids is a free outdoor music series for kids and their families in the Getty Center's Central Garden featuring some of the best children's musical artists from across the nation. Guests are welcome to bring a picnic blanket and food, but lawn chairs are not permitted. Food and beverages will be available for purchase onsite.

 

Justin Lansing and Joe Mailander may be Grammy-winning folk musicians, but when you meet them, it’s clear they’re just doing what they’ve been doing since they were three years old. As childhood friends growing up outside of Denver, Colorado, Justin and Joe were always exploring the outdoors. Their new songs are about a community of critters who are restoring interconnections through the healing power of nature.

 

Get ready for an elegantly silly time with the bilingual (English & Spanish), swingin' sounds of this Grammy-winning band! Composer and bandleader Lucy Kalantari engages audiences with interactive, jazz-age-scat-along play, while singing her original foot-tapping songs highlighting the joys of life, community, and resilience. Kalantari draws from her experiences growing up between the US and the Dominican Republic and raising a bilingual child. Family members from 0 to 122 will find themselves lighter and smiling through and through!

 

The Little Miss Ann Band plays upbeat, interactive songs that inspire kids to sing, jump, and dance. Ann Torralba, aka Little Miss Ann, is a Chicago-based, Filipina-American, nationally-touring kids musician who has made seven award-winning family music albums. Her song "Ube" is about a Filipino purple yam, and one of the first representations of Filipino culture on many radio programs and playlists. Little Miss Ann's musical themes inspire kids to let their own light shine in their families and communities!
