Founders of the Malibu Friends of Music and the Montgomery Arts House for Music and Architecture (MAHMA), Scott Hosfeld and Maria Newman received the highest honors recently, for significantly adding to the cultural environment of Malibu and the people of the United States.
Offering over 40 concerts of major status at MAHMA, Hosfeld and Newman continue to bring world-class music to the community of Malibu, attracting musicians of worldwide renown to perform in intimate European Old Style Salon settings, and enabling MAHMA audiences to experience performances from a nearly interactive standpoint.
Several of the recognitions Newman and Hosfeld received were from the United States Congress, the California State Assembly, the California State Senate, as well as the City of Malibu.
