Intro

Calling all music lovers who like to laugh! South Bay Music Association is bringing a lighthearted, free concert to El Segundo entitled “Just for Laughs”. The event is coming up this Saturday, July 21st, at 4:00 pm. The performance will be held at the El Segundo Performing Arts Center on 640 Main Street.

Enjoy an evening of not-so-thought provoking music that will put a smile on your face with Maestro Steven Allen Fox conducting this special event for all ages.

Fox stated, “It is a departure from our usual choices but as always a wonderful program of music that will delight our audience. We invite as many children, families and seniors as possible with the “Just For Laughs” theme and funniest video contest. The early time of 4:00 pm of this Free Summer Concert Event makes it possible for many more folks to attend since they will be home before dark.”
