Become a Musical Interludes Season Sponsor!
Musical Interludes is PCM’s signature concert series that explores connections between music and literature, history, architecture and culture. Performed by world-class faculty and guest artists and hosted by KUSC’s Brian Lauritzen, all concerts include a post-concert reception with food from Julienne Fine Foods. Season sponsors make the series possible, while also underwriting public performances for students, families, and community members to enjoy at no cost.
Musical Interludes has been bringing music to the Pasadena community for more than 30 years. The series began as Mansions and Music, offering intimate performances in private homes. It evolved over time, moving into Barrett Hall and deepening its exploration of music’s connections to literature, history, architecture, and culture.
During the pandemic, PCM pivoted to creating concert films that kept the series alive and extended its reach. Today the series is as vital as ever. As one longtime supporter shared:
“Whether Mansions and Music performances… or the unique Zoom programs during Covid… or the exquisite one-of-a-kind concerts now performed in Barrett Hall… all have brought music to the community. And one could say that the community keeps discovering it can be a part of the music world in many ways because of PCM!”
— Marlene Konnar and John Baldeschwieler
