Classical Californians: Etienne Gara

This week, Classical Californians welcomes back violinist and Delirium Musicum Artistic Director Etienne Gara for an immersive journey into the ensemble’s newest album, Cabinet of Curiosities. Gara opens the door to the project’s spirit‑world inspirations, guiding listeners through vivid musical landscapes that stretch from the stark beauty of California’s Joshua Tree to the streets of Paris and beyond.
