Presenting the finest local and visiting artists, MEC is the place to hear adventurous new music in Los Angeles. (Monday) Evening Concerts is a seven-time national winner of the ASCAP/Chamber Music America Award for Adventurous Programming and is the subject of a full-length book entitled Evenings On and Off the Roof, written by Dorothy Lamb Crawford.
