30 years may seem like 30 seconds in the scope of classical music's immense history. But these past 30 years have been one of musical exploration and success for La Musica, Sarasota's annual chamber and classical music festival. Members and supporters gathered Monday night at Michael's On East to celebrate the opening of the festival's 30th anniversary season. Guests enjoyed drinks, food and quality musical entertainment with a performance by violinist Federico Agostini and pianist Derek Han.
