Earlier this Summer…

Fun was had by all at the Elegant Music Summer Concert June 28, 2020. It was a neighborhood block party that turned into a concert.  We received many compliments from our neighbors and friends.

Please see pictures, music program and read all about the Elegant Music Summer Concert June 2020 at the link below.

Invitation. It’s time to get together & enjoy food & live music.

You Are Invited :-)

“It’s time to get together and enjoy some food & live music.”

Sheila and I were talking with our neighbors and it just seemed like it was time to have an informal get together with food and music.

Here is the invitation:

 

  • Date: Sunday June 28, 2020.

 

  • Location: Home of Sheila and Eric Zimmermann 3190 Crestford Drive, Altadena, CA. 91001

 

  • Times: 5:00 – 6:00 We gather.

 

6:00 – 7:00 We eat!* It’s a neighborhood potluck/social so you are welcome to bring a dish to share or just bring your own food to eat; that’s okay too.

Tim Nichols one of my neighbors across the street will be making his famous chicken chili. I am told it is “Reeeeeally Good!”

I will be bringing hotdogs. I’m thinking he and I can combine the two to make Coney Island style dogs. 

Location: Elegant Music 3190 Crestford Drive Altadena, CA. 91001
You are invited :-)

 

7:00 – 8:00 Live Concert. My wife Sheila and I will perform with the Elegant Music Quartet. We will be performing a variety of motion picture themes in our neighbor’s driveway across the street. They have a very nice front yard, besides, it’s too sunny on my side of the street for string instruments.

 

 

You are welcome to bring lawn chairs and be comfortable.

After the concert I will be DJ-ing from 8:00 – 9:00 providing pre-recorded background music for more socializing and dessert.

 

Please RSVP

RSVP is an abbreviation for a French saying: “Répondez s’il vous plaît”  means “Respond please” to confirm receiving an invitation answering whether or not invited will be attending.

“Viens comme to es” “Come as you are.”

Don’t worry, this is a casual event and no one will be speaking French.

Christmas & Holiday Music by Elegant Music

By

Early one morning this week it was cold outside and it rained; an all too rare yet welcome occurrence in Southern California. And that’s all it took for me (visited by the holiday spirit) to get childhood images of how special a “snow day” was and how much fun it would be to get snowed in. To warm up the house I baked chicken with herbs, vegetables, baby yams and cranberries. In about an hour our home was warm with the sweet aroma of a holiday dinner. Outside it continued to rain; not really “snowed in”, but it was fun to pretend.

Currier and Ives

 

The Soundtrack for Holiday Gatherings

These holiday images (ghosts) of “Christmas Past, Present and Future” are not without a soundtrack.

Music dynamically influences the design and presentation of such events. If there was ever a recipe for a successful event, the ingredients would include decoration, copious amounts of food, and music. Add guests, and mix gently!

 

Holiday Tenant Breakfast and Beyond

That morning I spoke with a new client about their ideas to decorate their building’s foyer and have live music during their Holiday Tenant Breakfast.

Additionally, their building is in Pasadena along the Rose Parade route and plans are afoot to provide music on New Year’s Day by Elegant Music!

Now that’s the way to end a year…

…and start off a new one.

I look forward to hearing your holiday entertaining ideas :-)
