From his biography on the LA Phil: Garrett is a dedicated advocate for music education. He coaches youth orchestras, visits schools, and is cello teacher for the El Sistema-inspired Youth Orchestra Los Angeles. At the Bob Cole Conservatory of Music at CSU Long Beach Garrett maintains one of Southern California’s top cello teaching studios. Garrett’s community service extends beyond the Philharmonic’s projects; he is a board member of the Los Angeles Bach Festival and the Los Angeles Violoncello Society and an active member of the First United Methodist Church of Pasadena. In his spare time Garrett enjoys games and sports; in particular he is an avid, if frustrated, golfer.

Angeles Chorale comes to FUMC Pasadena

The Angeles Chorale to Present

“Stories of our Lives”

Saturday, June 9, 2012 at 8:00 pm at

First United Methodist Church of Pasadena

The Angeles Chorale has been presenting concerts at Pasadena FUMC for several years, most recently an evening of gospels and spirituals in March. The Chorale is an accomplished group of 80 voices singing under the baton of Dr. John Sutton. Their concert series this year is entitled “Stories Worth Telling.” The concluding June concert is billed as “Stories of our Lives.”

Life is full of stories – common, shared experiences that tie us together. Beginnings and endings, love and loss, growing up and growing old; connected by common threads, the journey of love is the essence of it all.

The program will include Eric Whitacre’s Five Hebrew Love Songs and the West Coast premiere of Robert Cohen’s Alzheimer’s Stories, a moving and encouraging work in three movements.

Advance ticket purchasers may place a dedication in the concert program in honor or memory of a loved one who has had Alzheimer’s Disease. A simple listing “in honor of” or “in memory of” may be submitted along with your ticket order. If you would like to include a photo and a longer message, 1/8-page dedications are available for $30 or 1/4 page for $50.

Any moneys collected above costs will be donated to a local Alzheimer’s organization. Phone 818-340-5084 for further information about dedications.

General admission tickets $25; students with valid ID $17.

To purchase tickets, visit angeleschorale.org or call 818-591-1735.
