Nicholas Mcgegan Brings the Best 
of Bach and Handel to Pasadena

 

 Start your New Year off right 
with the Pasadena Symphony 
and Principal Guest Conductor 
Nicholas McGegan as he 
delivers Baroque Connections: 
Bach & Handel, on January 21, 
at Ambassador Auditorium. 
Highly regarded as “one of 
the finest baroque conductors 
of his generation” (London 
Independent), the two-time 
Grammy nominee will jump 
start the new year as only 
he can with his historical 
performance practice bringing 
a wealth of experience to 
this quintessential Baroque 
repertoire. “He’s a dynamo, a 
true animator, an energiser 
and an ignition point from 
which music can take off and 
take wing” (Herald Scotland). 
Don’t miss this chance to 
witness the “King” of Baroque 
interpretation at his finest, as 
he applies his special craft to 
the genius of these two Baroque 
masters.

 For the symphony's entrée 
to the new year, Soprano 
Sherezade Panthaki will take 
on four of Handel's most 
popular and heart-rending 
arias. An acknowledged 
star in the early-music field, 
Panthaki has developed strong 
collaborations with many of 
the world's leading interpreters 
including Nicholas McGegan. 
Her international success has 
been fueled by superbly honed 
musicianship and passionately 
informed interpretations, 
"mining deep emotion from 
the subtle shaping of the lines" 
(New York Times).

 Colburn artist William Hagen 
will join the orchestra in the 
second half of the program for 
Bach's Violin Concerto No. 
1. A protégé of the Colburn 
Conservatory's Robert Lipsett 
and legendary violinist Itzhak 
Perlman, William has been 
hailed as a "brilliant virtuoso.a 
standout" (Dallas Morning 
News), having already reached 
international acclaim at the ripe 
age of twenty-three. These two 
young soloists promise to bring 
together an absolutely riveting 
performance of a varied 
program of music, all in the 
masterful hands of Conductor 
Nicholas McGegan.

 For those who want to learn 
more about the music, join us 
for Insights – a free pre-concert 
dialogue with Conductor 
Nicholas McGegan, which 
begins one hour prior to each 
performance. Patrons who plan 
to arrive early can also enjoy a 
drink or a bite in the lively Sierra 
Auto Symphony Lounge. A 
posh setting along Ambassador 
Auditorium’s beautiful outdoor 
plaza, the lounge offers 
uniquely prepared menus from 
Claud &Co for both lunch and 
dinner, a full bar and fine wines 
by Michero Family Wines, plus 
music before the concert and 
during intermission.

Performances on January 
21, 2017 take place at both 
2:00pm and 8:00pm at 
Ambassador Auditorium, 
located at 131 South St. John 
Avenue, Pasadena, CA. Tickets 
may be purchased online at 
pasadenasymphony-pops.org 
or by calling (626) 793-7172.

Adventurers Kid’s Programs

South Pasadena Library 

to Hold Author/Film Night

 


 An Author/Film Night 
with Matthew Arkin will 
be presented in the Library 
Community Room on 
Thursday, January 26 at 
7 p.m. It will feature a 
presentation by author and 
actor Matthew Arkin and 
a screening of the classic 
thriller “Wait Until Dark” 
(1967) with Audrey Hepburn 
in one of her most iconic 
roles, for which she received 
an Oscar nomination. The 
film also features Alan Arkin, 
Matthew’s father, in perhaps 
his most unforgettable role 
as the ruthless Roat. Other 
outstanding cast members 
include Richard Crenna, 
Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., and 
Jack Weston. When the film 
was first shown in theatres, 
all the house lights were 
turned off for the climactic, 
seat-gripping final scene.

 The event is presented by 
the Friends of the South 
Pasadena Public Library and 
the South Pasadena Public 
Library. The Community 
Room is located at 1115 
El Centro Street. Doors 
will open at 6:30 p.m. and 
refreshments will be served. 
Admission is free and no 
tickets or reservations are 
necessary. Special thanks to 
Movie Licensing USA.
