BURBANK Stroller BARRE!!!

Piano Spheres & David Gordezky: The Satie Project

Piano Spheres is a concert series for contemporary and 20th Century classical piano that I have been attending since 2006. It's always worth attending. **Andrés Jaramillo** performed a wonderful concert last season. **Date**: May 31 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm Also on May 30 at 8:00 pm **Venue**: Boston Court 70 N Mentor Ave, Pasadena, CA 91106 United States [+ Google Map](https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=70+N+Mentor+Ave+Pasadena+CA+91106+United+States "Click to view a Google Map") **Tickets**: $44 General $25 Students [https://pianospheres.org/event/piano-spheres-david-gordezky-present-the-satie-project/ ](https://pianospheres.org/event/piano-spheres-david-gordezky-present-the-satie-project/) Piano Spheres & David Gordezky present: The Satie Project – “Movements in the shape of a gallop or trot” Dada, experimental puppetry, and avant garde clowning come together with the complete piano four-hands works of Erik Satie interspersed with new compositions by seven American composers. A musical concert and trip into the absurd make up this unique performance that will journey from the profoundly poetic to the comically bizarre. Master puppeteer David Gordezky and his compatriots are side by side with the artists of Piano Spheres, featuring premieres of “30 for 30” Piano Spheres commissions by TJ Cole, Mikhail Johnson, Jihyun Kim, Veronika Krausas, Celka Ojakangas, Nate Schram, and Dale Trumbore. **TWO PERFORMANCES:** Saturday, May 30, 2026 – 8:00pm Sunday, May 31, 2026 – 2:00pm [Single tickets are now on sale through Boston Court Pasadena box office!](https://ci.ovationtix.com/112/production/1259357) Critics have called Piano Spheres “A nourishing, lasting LA invention” and one of “our most imaginative, best-planned, courageous and stimulating concert series.” Perhaps the LA Times said it best: “Clearly, Piano Spheres is intent on promoting new musical piano culture, not only by affording a handful of L.A.’s finest [pianists] a regular showcase, but also helping to expand and update the existing solo piano repertoire and offer needed encouragement to young composers.” To date, Piano Spheres’ core artists and renowned guest artists have presented 830 works for piano by more than 300 composers from across the globe, of which 92 are women and 254 are American. These works include solo, duo piano, piano chamber music, and piano vocal music, comprising 126 premieres, 44 of which were commissioned by PS itself. Past performances are presented both on our website and the **Piano Spheres YouTube channel** - *[https://www.youtube.com/@PianoSpheres](https://www.youtube.com/@PianoSpheres)*

Guests will gain unique insight into the artistic vision behind the exhibition while experiencing the works in an intimate and conversational setting usually reserved only for hotel guests. ​Following the tour, we’ll gather for drinks and bites on the hotel grounds — an elegant and timeless backdrop for meaningful conversation, new connections, and a quintessential Los Angeles afternoon. ​Thoughtfully curated for women who love art, beauty, design, and intellectually enriching experiences, this event offers the perfect blend of cultural discovery and social connection. ​**What makes it special:** * ​A rare opportunity to experience a private, curator-led walkthrough of a stunning exhibit set in an iconic location * ​An intimate, invitation-only opportunity to meet fellow intellectually curious women with a creative soul ​**Event Details:** Sunday, June 7th **3:00 PM** \| Private Exhibition Tour **4:00 PM** \| Drinks\, bites & conversation on the hotel grounds ​**Location:** the Beverly Hills Hotel 9641 Sunset Boulevard \| Beverly Hills\, CA **[To attend, complete registration here](https://luma.com/lfzn6c8i)** **Admission:** Complimentary to attend by invitation only. *One complimentary welcome drink included; all additional drinks and food to be purchased and paid separately on-site.* **Note about tickets/ RSVP's:** * RSVPs on Meetup do NOT count as official registrations for this event, and the RSVP count on Meetup may not reflect the actual number of attendees.
