One of the region’s best chamber music troupes, Camerata Pacifica moves from baroque to contemporary sounds with aplomb. On Oct. 18, the group presents an evening of cello and piano music by Brahms, Chopin and Crumb. Cellist Ani Aznavoorian will play Crumb’s “Solo Cello Sonata,” which calls for an array of extended techniques. She will not just bow, but pluck, tap and otherwise coax an array of alternative sounds out of her instrument. Also on tap is Chopin’s “Sonata for Piano and Cello,” a stirring bit of G Minor mastery. Warren Jones will helm the keyboard for the Chopin, and then play Brahms’ “Six Pieces for Piano.” At 200 S. Grand Ave., (805) 884-8410 or cameratapacifica.org.

To commemorate the 25th anniversary of Tea, a play about Japanese war brides from World War II now living in Kansas, Downtown’s East West Players is reimagining the story. The musical called, fittingly, Tea, With Music, runs Nov. 8-Dec. 9 at the Little Tokyo company’s David Henry Hwang Theatre. The play’s writer, Velina Hasu Houston, penned the lyrics and worked with composer Nathan at east West Wang to add original music. The story foPlayers cuses on a group of women who gather for a tea ceremony for one of their members, who has passed away under mysterious circumstances. At 120 Judge John Aiso St., (213) 625-7000 or eastwestplayers.org.

Just 5 minutes from
Jeff Goldblum is one of those actors who, for whatever intangible reason, is likeable. We liked him in Jurassic Park. We even liked him in the creepy The Fly. Expect that likeability, with a twist, in Seminar. Goldblum plays Leonard, a prominent writer who hosts a series of private classes for four students. In the show by Theresa Rebeck (whose long resume includes brainstorming NBC’s “Smash”), Leonard is a bit unorthodox, and things get nasty. Friendships will be made and fall apart, words will fly and there will be sex, though maybe not love. Previews at the Ahmanson start Oct. 10 and the show runs Oct. 17-Nov. 18. At 135 N. Grand Ave., (213) 628-2772 or centertheatregroup.com.
