PASADENA SYMPHONY PRESENTS MOZART’S “JUPITER” SYMPHONY JANUARY 25 FREE FOR FIRST RESPONDERS AND FIRE VICTIMS
Pasadena, CA – Music Director Brett Mitchell and the Pasadena Symphony present Mozart “Jupiter” Symphony on Saturday, January 25, 2025 with performances at 2:00pm and 8:00pm at Ambassador Auditorium. The jubilance of Mozart’s Jupiter Symphony provides the perfect uplifting voice for our community in light of the devastating wildfires. The Pasadena Symphony believes in the restorative power of music, and the orchestra’s affected musicians are looking forward to performing for their community so that we can all begin to heal through music. Tickets to both concerts will be offered free of charge to first responders and anyone who has been displaced, evacuated or experienced loss from the wildfires. Visit Pasadenasymphony-pops.org or sign up here for free tickets.
Also on the program, “one of the most admired pianists of his generation” (New York Times), Inon Barnatan will perform groundbreaking composer Florence Price’s soul-stirring Concerto for Piano in One Movement. 2024 GRAMMY-winning composer Jessie Montgomery’s vibrant intergalactic piece Starburst will open the program.
The Pasadena Symphony will be holding an instrument drive for students in the Pasadena Youth Symphony Orchestras who have lost their instruments in the fires and to help replenish what was lost from Pasadena Unified School District’s instrument library. The drive will take place during the concerts at Ambassador Auditorium on January 25 from 12-4pm and 6-10pm. Instruments will also be accepted during Pasadena Neighbor Day at Wild Parrot Brewing Co. on Sunday, January 19 from 12-8pm. Gently used orchestra instruments will be accepted, but please do not bring instruments in need of major repair. Those unable to attend in person can fill out this form for instrument donations: forms.gle/V2yCZS3CqLDSWyeR7.
