ASNC Outreach Committee
Heritage Square Museum Free Concerts - this summer
~ July 17, July 31 and August 28th ~
July 12, 2008
We hope you'll take advantage of this wonderful upcoming series of summer events, the Heritage Square Museum Free Concerts!
The Arroyo Seco Neighborhood Council is proud to be a continuing sponsor of the Heritage Square Museum. Among other things, the ASNC has been a generous funder of both Phase I and Phase II of their initiative to
beautify Homer Street through the Heritage Square "Victorian Fence Project" (see below).
In partnership with the City of Los Angeles, Department of Recreation and Parks and the Bricklayers & Allied Craft Workers Local #4 Joint Apprenticeship & Training Program, with funding from the City of Los Angeles, Beautification Grant Program, the Arroyo Seco Neighborhood Council, and the Lincoln Heights Neighborhood Council , Phase I of the Heritage Square Museum Victorian Fence Project has been completed!
With Phase I completed, the museum can now concentrate efforts on starting Phase II this year, and Phase III in the near future. Eventually, the new fence will replace the entirety of the barbed-wire fencing at the museum with an entrance worthy of our Victorian-era structures. We thank all the donors, museum volunteers and the museum members who made Phase I possible and ask for the continued support from our members, visitors and public officials of this important improvement and beautification project. |
The ASNC will have a table at the upcoming Free Concert series at Heritage Square on July 17, 31 and August 28 (from 4 pm to 8 pm) where we will be happy to explain the ASNC and the neighborhood council system across the City. Please stop by!
Here is your Invitation to attend the Free Concerts:

LOS ANGELES - On July 17, July 31 and August 28 step out of your car or get off the Metro Gold Line on your way home from work for a relaxing evening of live music in an historic atmosphere at Heritage Square Museum. This free event is made possible thanks to support of several local neighborhood councils and the LA County Arts Commission.
Doors open to the public at 4:00 PM with music beginning at 5:00 PM. Arrive at the museum early to see the historic architecture up close. Visitors will have a chance to try local food and drink and shop in the museum store. Costumed docents will be on hand to enliven the evening.
The concerts include an impressive lineup:
| July 17 |
begins with Marie MacGillis and the Toddy Trio, followed by the Pasadena City College Swing Band. |
| July 31 |
begins with Groove Session, followed by the Susie Hansen Latin Band. |
| August 28 |
begins with the "Sometimes in Tune" band, followed by Orquesta Salsumba. |
Mark Holston wrote in JAZZIZ Magazine that Susie Hansen's "violin speaks the language of Latin Jazz with total fluency." A long-time favorite in Los Angeles, Susie and her band play 175-200 live performances per year, including such events as the Playboy Jazz Festival, Fiesta Broadway, San Jose Jazz Festival, LA Salsa Festival and Newport Beach Jazz Festival. She has toured nationally with her band, and has appeared with such big names as Tito Puente.
Opening for Susie Hansen is Groove Session, who won the best jazz category from the 2007 Inland Empire Music Awards. The group has been called a "soul filled genre fused space funk odyssey!"
Marie MacGillis is a seasoned performer who just released her second album with the "Model Millionaires" . Marie's style focuses on 1920s and 30s blues and jazz, with forays into Rockabilly.
Dennis Kay leads the Pasadena City College Swing Band, who will play big-band standards, swing favorites, and ballroom classics from the likes of Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, and many more. Don't let the name fool you - the Pasadena City College Swing Band consists of extraordinary students, faculty and professionals who come together to present a rockin' good time!
On August 28, Sometimes in Tune will play bluegrass and American folk music with a fun, energetic twist. Rounding out the series is Orquesta Salsumba, who combine the rhythms of Salsa, Rumba and Latin Jazz to create a contagious energy sure to bring you to your feet! Led by Eddie de la Fey, this 12 piece band is sure to please!
Heritage Square is a living history museum dedicated to telling the story of the development of Los Angeles. At the museum, eight historic structures, saved from demolition and moved to the site, provide a glimpse of Southern California as it looked 100 years ago. The Museum is located at 3800 Homer Street, off the 110 Arroyo Seco Parkway (110/Pasadena Freeway) at Avenue 43, just north of downtown Los Angeles.
