t was March 6, 2020 when we last ga<strong>the</strong>red toge<strong>the</strong>r <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> Granada The<strong>at</strong>re<br />
and <strong>CAMA</strong> was presenting an historic concert in celebr<strong>at</strong>ion of <strong>the</strong> 100th<br />
anniversary of <strong>the</strong> first concert by <strong>the</strong> Los Angeles Philharmonic in Santa<br />
Barbara. It was a marvelous occasion—<strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong> COVID‐19 pandemic hit only a few days<br />
l<strong>at</strong>er and concerts st<strong>at</strong>e- and n<strong>at</strong>ionwide were cancelled.<br />
Following <strong>the</strong> longest period of “dark stages”—19 months!—in <strong>CAMA</strong>'s long history,<br />
we were <strong>at</strong> last able to present a special performance by Les Violons du Roy with<br />
mandolinist Avi Avital on October 19, 2021 <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> Lobero The<strong>at</strong>re. Not even World War II<br />
had caused such a prolonged interruption of <strong>CAMA</strong>’s live performances. We were thrilled<br />
th<strong>at</strong> so many of our p<strong>at</strong>rons were able to join us for <strong>the</strong> “welcome back” performance.<br />
We are all so delighted to be back in our <strong>the</strong><strong>at</strong>ers, continuing <strong>CAMA</strong>'s long tradition of<br />
bringing <strong>the</strong> world’s finest classical artists to everyone in our community.<br />
<strong>CAMA</strong>'s Board of Directors and staff thank you all who have supported <strong>CAMA</strong> over <strong>the</strong>se<br />
past two years. Your heart-warming and generous support has enabled us to come<br />
through <strong>the</strong> past many months carrying <strong>the</strong> bright torch of our mission to bring <strong>the</strong><br />
finest in classical music to our community. We are most sincerely gr<strong>at</strong>eful.<br />
Avi Avital performing with Les Violons du Roy <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> Lobero The<strong>at</strong>re for <strong>CAMA</strong> <strong>⫽</strong> October 19, 2021<br />
