2026: A NEW YEAR AND A NEW SEASON

As we move into a new year together, we have the unique privilege of sharing music with people from many places and backgrounds. Because you are visiting this website, it most likely means that you perform, conduct or organize musical events and services as part of your life. I hope these pages will give ideas and insights into pieces of music that can be of help to you in the upcoming weeks and months. 

The people we know need encouragement and hope, and I’m grateful that you are finding ways to inspire those you know, as well as many you will meet for the first time because of your musical endeavors. May this website help to enable you to connect to music that will fit well into a worship service or concert, utilizing vocalists, choirs, chamber ensembles or orchestra. 

This is a year of new beginnings for many of us who live in Pasadena, California. The fires that devastated the communities of Altadena and Pacific Palisades are behind us, and those of us who experienced this event are eager to move forward to see what is ahead as we continue to trust God for a new future. 

I am grateful to be a part of the musical community at Lake Avenue Church in Pasadena. The recovery process we have experienced together has been greatly influenced by the hearts and lives of countless musicians whose contributions to the musical efforts in and around Pasadena have lifted the hearts and minds of this community. It is difficult to imagine recovery from this event without the care and support of these outstanding musical artists.

One thing is certain: God is faithful, and the music represented on this site reflects His ongoing care no matter what we go through in this life. 

Thank you for connecting!
