The Peninsula Committee Los Angeles Philharmonic hosted its annual Music in the Garden event on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at the South Coast Botanic Garden. Due to unexpected rain, the performances were moved indoors, but the spirit and talent of the young musicians shone bright.
Guests enjoyed outstanding performances by student orchestras, bands, and choral ensembles from Palos Verdes High School, Palos Verdes Peninsula High School, Palos Verdes Intermediate School, Redondo Union High School, and Torrance South High School.
