In November 1999, we moved into our new office, the California
Traditional Music Society Center for Folk Music, located
in Encino Park, 16953 Ventura Blvd., Encino, California 91316.
CTMS won a competitive RFP from the City of Los Angeles Cultural
Affairs Department, to promote folk arts programs to the community
in exchange for occupancy of the building for five years.
Our new Center gives us the opportunity to expand our programming
to include educational programs for children, music concert series,
storytelling events, dance workshops, lectures, jam sessions and
much more.
- The Center can accommodate an audience of 90 people.
- Open weekdays and for evening events. (See
Event Schedule.)
- Main purpose is to run the operations of the CTMS office.
-
We prepare for the Summer
Solstice Folk Music, Dance and Storytelling Festival. Each
Festival is planned two years in advance.
- Jan Tappan teaches Scottish fiddle class in the evening one
day a week. See the CTMS Calendar for current schedule.
- The first Sunday of each month, we host an Old Timey Music
jam session led by Steve Lewis. The sessions are "Free to
the public".
- As an Arts Partner of the City of Los Angeles Cultural Affairs
Department, CTMS we work in partnership with the Encino Community
Center, run by the Parks and Recreations Department. We have
presented major Folk Music concerts in the Encino Community
Center auditorium, with over 300 people in the community attending
each concert.
