An upcoming evening concert at Washington Park in Pasadena promises to deliver a transformative experience through the power of music. Scheduled for June 12, this event invites individuals aged 50 and above to embark on a soul-enriching exploration that intertwines melody, memory, and creativity. Featuring artist Jie Ma, the performance titled "In a Wonderland with Miss MA" will captivate audiences from 6 to 7:30 p.m. with an innovative blend of traditional Chinese instruments and Western sounds.

Jie Ma, renowned for her expertise in playing the pipa, handpan, crystal bowls, and other meditative tools, aims to create an immersive atmosphere transcending cultural and generational barriers. This collaboration between the Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department, Pasadena Village, and Clazzical Notes highlights their shared commitment to promoting well-being through artistic expression. By fusing diverse musical traditions, the concert seeks to inspire personal reflection and connection among attendees.

Music has long been celebrated as a universal language capable of fostering joy and self-discovery. Held under the shade of Washington Park's lush greenery, this gathering encourages participants to bring along blankets or picnic essentials for an enjoyable outdoor experience. Although primarily targeted towards older adults, the free event warmly welcomes guests of all ages. Thanks to sponsorship from Pasadena Federal Credit Union, everyone can partake in this enriching cultural celebration.
