Meet the Artists

Meet the Artists events are held a few days before concert weekends at University Village-Thousand Oaks, providing a unique ‘behind the scenes’ experience with Maestro Michael Christie and our guest artists. Learn about their musical insights, illustrious careers and fascinating beginnings, and enjoy intimate musical performances. Hosted by University Village–Thousand Oaks, these free events begin with a dessert reception.

These events are open to the public. Reservations are required by calling University Village at 805.241.3300 at least 48 hours in advance.
