TARFEST: The marvelous Mid-City has long been known as a place to catch a scintillating sound-strong set — think intimate bars, clubs, and the free shows at the Original Farmers Market — and this outdoor music festival is one of the area's icons. The free extravaganza will pop up at Pan Pacific Park on June 10 with live tunes, activities for kids, and art, lots of art. Several local gems, including the Korean Cultural Center and the Academy Museum, will be there, too.
Angel City Chorale: Happy 30th anniversary to this uplifting organization, an outfit that has brought so many songs to so many Southern Californians over several years now. A milestone concert is in order and the group will grace the stage at UCLA's Royce Hall on June 10 and 11. On the setlist? The acclaimed chorale will revisit "the songs that made them internationally famous." There's so much to love about the ACC, including the impressive fact that they've sung in 20 languages. As for the number of tunes they've taken on? Wowza: That number is over 500.
