The welcoming sound of piano echoes throughout the hallway behind Santa Monica College’s concert hall on the college's Performing Arts Center. Performing at the head of the class is Leo Rodriguez, 20, president of the Music Appreciation club who is excited to get the club up and running again for another semester along with previous members and newcomers.

The sound of the Jazz Ensemble welcomes your echoing footsteps as you enter the Santa Monica City College Performing Art Center, curious for what is to come behind the closed doors of the Barrett Art Gallery.
