The City of Desert Hot Springs is excited to announce the start of the fourth season of the Desert Hot Springs Classical Concerts. Beginning Sunday, January 21, 2018, the first event, dubbed the “Afternoon Concert Crawl” will feature concerts at three separate venues within the City: Cabot’s Pueblo Museum, Miracle Springs Resort & Spa and Desert Cove Assisted Living Community.

Each venue will showcase performances at 2:00 P.M., 2:45 P.M. and 3:30 P.M., making it possible for attendees to enjoy all three concerts, in whatever order they choose.

“Desert Hot Springs Classical Concerts was created to bring world-class classical music to audiences in Desert Hot Springs,” said Founder and Artistic Director, Danny Holt. “Our fourth season brings classical music to a broad audience throughout the city and surrounding areas by featuring performers at five different venues. We are especially excited about the ‘Afternoon Concert Crawl’…think of it as a ‘Choose-Your-OwnAdventure’ concert experience!”, Holt concluded.

The “Afternoon Concert Crawl” will feature:
