    Music has always been a part of Laguna's art culture, but it has a hit-or-miss history. Lyric Opera Co. was founded here, leading to the formation of Opera Pacific, which moved out of town. The Laguna Chamber Music Society presented concerts at the Artists Theatre until it moved to the Barkley while the high school was being renovated and never came back. The Pacific Symphony played chamber music concerts in the theater until school officials no longer would clear the calendar for them.

  12. The Punch Brothers Play at the Jorgensen Center in Storrs on Oct. 4

    <span style="font-size: medium;">This generation is undoubtedly experiencing history&rsquo;s most expansive and diverse collection of musical genres to date. What with the boom of social media and music sharing sites like Facebook and Spotify, it&rsquo;s effortless for an artist to just pick up a mic or instrument and broadcast their ideas to the world. But this phenomenon is also a double-edged sword. Due to the overwhelming amount of music, most musicians find themselves unable to break new ground. Well, that&rsquo;s definitely not the case for the Punch Brothers. Although deeply influenced by bluegrass, the group experiments with different sounds. When asked to describe their music, guitarist Chris &ldquo;Critter&rdquo; Eldridge had to think about what they actually played. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re a string band, a bluegrass band even, that is aspiring to go beyond.&rdquo;</span>
