The public event is free and showcases talented young piano, vocal, and instrumental musicians. Since 1927, the Carmel Music Society has offered classical musical concerts

With approval of this request, the City would have one remaining “free use” day to allocate through June 30, 2012.

Decision Record: This is the first such request from the Carmel Music Society for a “free use” day at Sunset Center.
