Welcome to Pasadena Pro Musica!

We have a very special holiday concert coming up!

Come and bask in the glorious sounds of Shawn Kirchner’s beautifully crafted holiday music designed to lift our spirits, renew our awe at the patterns of the seasons, and remind us that hope is our communal life force. “The Light of Hope Returning” is a celebration of folk carols in which Kirchner combines his own artful arrangements of a number of best-loved, traditional Christmas songs with new carols based on Christmas, Winter Solstice, and New Year’s themes. Included in this concert will be a sing-along of holiday favorites.
