In my last post I mentioned MUSE/IQUE’s November Uncorked series. I just found out about a more immediate show, this Monday, Oct. 28 at 7 p.m. at Pandora on the Green, 33 West Green Street in Pasadena. The show, a Motown-inspired concert, is also a benefit for Union Station Homeless Services, a San Gabriel Valley social services organization that provides assistance to the homeless and low-income families.
The show will feature Motown mashups by MUSE/IQUE, Pasadena's "counter conventional" orchestra led by conductor and artistic director Rachael Worby, the legendary Ellis Hall (formerly of Tower of Power) and an energetic lineup of virtuoso Motown musicians, artists and guest stars. Tickets include hors d'oeuvres and a dessert reception.
As of this writing, Goldstar had tickets for $20 (plus their fee).
Kim and I have now gone to two MUSE/IQUE events and enjoyed both. We are also very impressed with the organization’s KIDS/IQUE! Program, which brings live music to foster kids. This is the description from the organization’s website: “We visit foster care facilities throughout the season and ask the children to join us for each show because their presence and spirit enriches our audience and diversifies the energy of every live performance.”
Kim and I met KIDS/IQUE! program team leader, and MUSE/IQUE violinist, Julie Rogers at a recent dinner. She is an absolute delight – and a rocking musician as well.

MUSE/IQUE is just a little over two years old now. I’m looking forward to seeing this organization grow and reach more kids.
Here again is the information about the November show:
The next entry in the Uncorked series, "Girl/Band," which will be held Nov. 11 at 6:30 p.m. at the Avon Distribution Center, 2940 East Foothill Blvd. Tickets are $50 each, but Goldstar has them for $20 (with their fees, it'll be closer to $25).
The program for "Girl/Band" will open with a screening of the documentary "Girls in the Band," directed by Judy Chaikin. The documentary traces the history of all-girl bands from the 1930s through present day, exposing sexism and racism faced by the women who have broken through primarily male music bastions.
A performance by "fiery female jazz musicians" will cap the program.
Raymond Chandler
Want to go on a date with us? We’re cashing in another of Kim’s tour gift certificates, this time to go on Esotouric’s Raymond Chandler tour this Saturday. As it turns out, Goldstar happens to have discount tickets for this one: $29 (again, not including Goldstar’s fees). The regular price is $58.
We did Esotouric’s Black Dahlia tour awhile back and had a great time. Tour guides Richard Schave, Kim Cooper, and Joan Renner are very knowledgeable about Los Angeles - its literary figures and its crimes. You'll see mentions of them and Esotouric in the LA Times and Los Angeles magazine. The tour will hit such sites as the Los Angeles Athletic Club, the Larry Edmunds Bookshop, the Hotel Van Nuys, Paramount Studio’s gates, and a Chandler-themed gelato stop.
