Music at Noon at Pasadena Pres
For years, the Pasadena Presbyterian Church has presented outstanding musicians performing a brief noon-time concert in the sanctuary of their church. Each Wednesday classical music artists present a 40-minute recital-concert designed to lift the spirits at mid-day. This Wednesday, Oct. 28, Roger Lebow, cellist, will appear with pianist Louise King presenting the music of Oscar von Pander.
“A most intriguing little noon concert for anyone within striking distance of Pasadena of a Wednesday afternoon,” according to Lebow.
“This will be what is probably a Western Hemisphere permiere of a piece by a little-known but no less excellent late-Romantic German named Oscar von Pander. Von Pander came to my attention through his granddaughter, Louise King, the fine pianist I’ll be playing with at this concert,” Lebow told Jim Eninger of the popular e-mail Chamber Music Newsletter from the South Bay.
Lebow, a regular member of the Pasadena Symphony and several other local symphony orchestras and chamber ensembles, is on the cello faculty of Pomona College, the Claremont Graduate School, and Chapman University.
The Music at Noon concerts begin sharply at 12:10 p.m. and conclude at 1:00 p.m. These concerts are free. Lunch is available following the concert for a $6 donation; you are welcome to bring your own lunch and enjoy the church courtyard as well.
