Peace in a Pod Ushers in Spring with Benefit Concert

Peace in a Pod, Santa Barbara’s only Montessori School, presents a global night of music to usher in spring and support its mission of bringing personalized and nurturing education to Santa Barbara’s youth.

The evening will kick off at 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 9, with a dinner available for purchase from a curated selection of food vendors. Attendees are welcome to bring blankets and enjoy a relaxing picnic or sit at one of the many tables positioned throughout the orchard as they soak in the atmosphere. Alongside dinner, there will be a silent auction from 5 to 6:30 p.m. with exciting offerings.

At 7 p.m., Adam Phillips of the Santa Barbara Folk Orchestra will take the stage in the historic El Presidio Chapel. Phillips has sold out venues across Santa Barbara with his intimate musical experience.
