Holiday Brass in South Pasadena • Friday, December 19, 7:00 pm

Get into the Holiday spirit with five members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s Brass Section and Organist Jason Klein-Mendoza on Friday, December 19th at 7pm at St. James Episcopal Church in South Pasadena!

The family-friendly program – performed in the beautiful 115+ year old Historic Landmark building - will include seasonal works for brass quintet alone, organ alone and everything in between. The performance will be followed by a Holiday Reception.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear these talented LA Phil musicians OUTSIDE a major concert hall.

Funds raised will go towards St. James’ Organ Fund – and, if you're there, you will be among the first to hear and see the new organ in her public debut!
