Verdugo Woodlands and Benjamin Franklin Elementary Schools are joining forces to host the most exciting fundraising event of the year: ‘A Day of Music’ followed by a not-to-be-missed concert by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy! Click here to purchase your tickets today!
A Day of Music (1pm – 4:30pm) will include musical performances by GUSD student orchestras, bands & choruses, and workshops with members of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.
‘Day of Music’ is open to the public and does not require a ticket purchase. A detailed schedule will be available on www.bigbadconcert.com closer to the event date.
The Concert (starting at 7:15pm) with Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and special guests – the Glendale High School Jazz Band – will open the evening’s event. From the 1999 Super Bowl halftime show to sold-out concerts at the Hollywood Bowl and Walt Disney Concert Hall, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy reminds us that it’s still cool to swing, big band style! Their music has appeared in countless films and television shows, and few bands can match the energy and excitement of their live concerts, which keep their diverse and devoted fans coming back for more. We have no doubt this show at the Alex will sell out quickly!
‘The Concert’ is a ticketed event. Proceeds will go to support music and arts programs at Verdugo Woodlands and Benjamin Franklin Elementary Schools and GUSD middle and high school band programs.

Alex Film Society Presents MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL
2014-02-01 20:00 - 22:20 | Alex Theatre, 216 N. Brand Blvd., Glendale, CA, 91203, United States
Working on a measly budget (under $400,000), the Python troupe made do with what they had. Can’t afford horses? No problem. We’ll just have Patsy (Terry Gilliam, playing the part of King Arthur’s assistant) simulate the sound of horses by banging two coconuts together. No location budget? No problem. We’ll just shoot most of the castle scenes (and there are a lot of them) in the same castle, just using different camera angles, lighting set-ups, and set dressing. So come and join us for one of the funniest (and silliest) movies ever made – MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL [Python (Monty) Pictures, 1975]. The cartoon features Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam in Knighty Knight Bugs.

Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra Presents HAYDN, MOZART & BEETHOVEN
2014-01-25 20:00 - 22:00 | Alex Theatre, 216 N. Brand Blvd., Glendale, CA, 91203, United States
Unlike Mozart and Beethoven, Haydn spent most of his life working for one powerful, generous man: Prince Esterházy of Hungary. Upon the Prince’s death, Haydn was free to find new opportunities – and new friends – abroad. Amidst his London successes, Haydn found time to write his Sinfonia concertante, a lively showcase for the composer and several of his pals. Witness the beginning of a beautiful friendship when the new Oregon Bach Festival artistic director Matthew Hallsleads the Orchestra in his California debut, while four superbly talented LACO principals recreate Haydn’s most companionable work. The evening’s program includes:
Matthew Halls, conductor Margaret Batjer, violin Andrew Shulman, cello Allan Vogel, oboe Kenneth Munday, bassoon
MOZART – Ballet Music from Idomeneo HAYDN – Sinfonia concertante in B-flat major AARON JAY KERNIS – Musica Celestis BEETHOVEN – Symphony No. 1 in C major
Programs and artists subject to change.
7:00 PM – Pre-Concert Preludes – Your ticket includes admission to this pre-concert extra. Some Preludes will feature LIVE performances of short chamber works. All will provide interesting insights into the music and the artists.

THE SURVIVOR The Silent Genocide of the Armenians In the City of Khoy, Iran 1917-1918
2014-01-23 19:00 - 21:00 | Downtown Central Library, 222 E. Harvard St., Glendale, CA, 91205, United States
THE SURVIVOR
The Silent Genocide of the Armenians
In the City of Khoy, Iran 1917-1918
GLENDALE, CA On Thursday, January 23, 2014, at 7pm, the author, Rosemary H. Cohen will present The Survivor, the true story of the silent Genocide of the Armenians by Turkish Ottoman soldiers in the city of Khoy, Iran, at the Glendale Central Library Auditorium, 222 East Harvard Street in Glendale. The presentation is in English. Admission is free; seating is limited. Library visitors receive 3 hours FREE parking across the street at The Market Place parking structure with validation at the Loan Desk.
The Survivor is a tender and sensitive true story of Arousiak, who was born in the City of Khoy, northwest of Iran. Arousiak the grandmother of the author, wishes for an education, but she marries instead, at the age of twelve and half years to Yeprem, who was 24 years old. Arousiak is happy as a new bride, living in luxury, with a devoted husband. But soon her life shatters, as in 1918, the Turkish Ottoman soldiers occupied the City of Khoy, and massacred almost the entire Armenian population of the city who used to live there for centuries. The eighteen-year-old Arousiak, and her three year-old daughter’s happy existence was transformed into the difficult life of the survivors. Yet she continues living, and struggles to educate and provide for her only daughter, her sole reminder of her deep love and glorious past.
Dr. Rosemary Hartounian Cohen is an award-winning author, journalist, and an accomplished artist. She is the author of Korban – The Sacrifice of Liana, Terrorists or Martyrs, The Mother of Jerusalem is Crying, Anoush – The Daughter of King Shen and The Survivor, which has been translated in Armenian, Farsi, and French. She has written many articles in The Jewish Heritage, thefrontpageonline.com, the Jewish Journal, The Armenian Reporter, Javanan and etc. Dr. Cohen is also the founder and director of the Liana Cohen Foundation, a non-profit organization encouraging youth to study music, as well as providing the healing touch of music and arts to grieving families and survivors of tragedies, such as victims of drunk-driving, alcohol and drug abuse. Dr. Cohen is a well-known writer and artist in the United States and abroad. She is currently working on the second edition of The Survivor, which will include the stories of additional survivors of the Armenian Genocide and new historical findings.

Into The Light: The Healing Art of Kalman Aron By Susan Beilby Magee
2014-01-09 19:00 - 21:00 | Downtown Central Library, 222 E. Harvard St., Glendale, CA, 91205, United States
Into The Light: The Healing Art of Kalman Aron
By Susan Beilby Magee
GLENDALE, CA On Thursday, January 9, 2014, at 7pm Author Susan Beilby Magee will present Into the Light : The Healing Art of Kalman Aron, at the Glendale Central Library Auditorium, 222 East Harvard Street in Glendale. The presentation is in English. Admission is free; seating is limited. Library visitors receive 3 hours FREE parking across the street at The Market Place parking structure with validation at the Loan Desk.
INTO THE LIGHT: The Healing Art of Kalman Aron relates the life of émigré artist Kalman Aron from his youth as an art prodigy in Latvia, through four years of darkness in Holocaust slave labor and concentration camps—where drawing portraits of guards for morsels of food would save him from starvation. After the war, he made his way to the Vienna Fine Arts Academy where he received his Masters in Fine Art. He then left Europe, finding sanctuary in California in 1949. Aron first found success in America by painting pastels of children, later becoming known for landscapes and studies of people in his unique style of “psychological realism.” His work soon caught the attention of Hollywood celebrities and connoisseurs alike, and commissions arrived from such notables as Ronald Reagan, Henry Miller and André Previn. Kalman Aron was honored in 2010 with the hanging of his iconic Mother and Child in the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust. Aron resides in Los Angeles, California.
Susan Beilby Magee grew up in Glendale and earned her BA at Pomona College and her MBA at Wharton. A former White House Fellow, she had a successful career in government and business before turning to matters of the heart: hypnotherapy and meditation. Susan Magee’s life-long friendship with Kalman Aron began when she sat for her portrait at age six. A half century later, the artist asked her to write his story, and she spent countless hours interviewing him, his family and friends and other Latvian survivors. Over nine years, she traveled his path across Europe from Riga, through seven slave labor and concentration camps in Latvia, Poland, Germany and then Czechoslovakia and finally to Vienna where he studied art before coming to Los Angeles.
The program is sponsored by Glendale, Library Arts & Culture.
