ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Gold Line Quartet (GLQ) is a Los Angeles based ensemble whose members have saxophone degrees from the University of Southern California, The Hartt School, and the Jacques Thibaud Conservatory of Bordeaux.
The quartet has been recognized as a top performer on gigsalad.com for positive audience reviews and great communication with venues.
The Gold Line Quartet is inspired by the running of the Gold Line crossing from Azusa across the I-210 freeway to Union Station and beyond. We understand that life is a hustle for everyone (us included!), and we want to provide a touch of magic in a world that is often a challenging grind. The group also takes inspiration from the Red Line Saxophone Quartet. Founded in 2008 at the Eastman Conservatory of Music, Red Line was one of the early pioneers of memorized program performance and set a standard for chamber music that we are proud to pursue.

Vroman's Bookstore: TICKETED - Ali Velshi, in conversation with Reza Aslan, discusses Small Acts of Courage
2024-05-15 19:00 | Vroman’s Bookstore, 695 E. Colorado Blvd., Pasadena, CA, 91101, United States
A captivating family history that illustrates how small actions can have an outsized political impact.
Small acts of courage matter. Sometimes, they change the world. Our history books are filled with the stories of those who fought for democracy and freedom–for idealism itself–against all odds, from Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela to Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. These iconic struggles for social change illustrate the importance of engagement and activism, and offer a template for the battles we are fighting today. But using the right words is often easier than taking action; action can be hard, and costly.
More than a century ago, MSNBC host Ali Velshi’s great-grandfather sent his seven-year-old son to live at Tolstoy Farm, Gandhi’s ashram in South Africa. This difficult decision would change the trajectory of his family history forever. From childhood, Velshi’s grandfather was imbued with an ethos of public service and social justice, and a belief in absolute equality among all people–ideals that his children carried forward as they escaped apartheid, emigrating to Kenya and ultimately Canada and the United States.
In Small Acts of Courage, Velshi taps into 125 years of family history to advocate for social justice as a living, breathing experience–a way of life more than an ideology. With rich detail and vivid prose, he relates the stories of regular people who made a lasting commitment to fight for change, even when success seemed impossible. This heartfelt exploration of how we can breathe new life into the principles of pluralistic democracy is an urgent call to action–for progress to be possible, we must all do whatever we can to make a difference. (St. Martin’s Press)
REZA ASLAN is a renowned writer, commentator, professor, Emmy- and Peabody-nominated producer, and scholar of religions. A recipient of the prestigious James Joyce award, Aslan is the author of three internationally best-selling books, including the #1 New York Times Bestseller, Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth. His producing credits include the acclaimed HBO series The Leftovers and the hit CBS comedy United States of Al. He is the host and Executive Producer of CNN’s Believer and Rough Draft with Reza Aslan, as well as co-host along with Rainn Wilson of the podcast Metaphysical Milkshake.

Vroman's Bookstore: Marcelo Verdad discusses The Dream Catcher
2024-05-17 19:00 | Vroman’s Bookstore, 695 E. Colorado Blvd., Pasadena, CA, 91101, United States
For fans of Last Stop on Market Street, an uplifting story about a boy who stays true to his biggest dream while finding the magic in every moment.
Some people dream of perfect waves, fancy castles, or piloting a plane. Others dream of someone to laugh and play with all day long. Some just dream of having a meal for the next day.
And little Miguel? As he and Abuelito work in the hot Oaxacan sun, selling cold coconuts and macrame dream catchers to earn a few coins, Miguel has only one simple wish–to have his parents by his side. But how can he keep the faith when the truth is that dreams don’t always come to pass?
Marcelo Verdad’s poignant tale of hope and resilience shows how living in the here and now can be a journey every bit as beautiful as a dream.

Archetype Yoga: Sound + Waves with Sara Bluemenkranz
2024-05-19 14:00 - 19:00 | Archetypa Yoga, 638 e colorado ave, pasadena, CA, 91101, United States
How does sound live in your body? Join sound bath practitioner, Sara Blumenkranz, to learn how the spectrum of sound affects the body. Fluctuating between different combinations of sound, frequencies, and vibrations, a sound bath allows participants to fall into a deeply relaxed state, helping to put the body in a state of ease while gently relaxing the mind into the ‘theta’ frequency. In this state, our brain wave rhythm slows down to where we can not only deepen our meditation experience but begin to look deeper into the inner essence of ourselves.⁣ This allows for greater introspection to tune in and bring clarity and awareness that benefit our overall well-being. We’ll explore sound through the mediums of sound bathing, Chakras, and the connection to Chinese Medicine to understand this powerful medium.
Join us to:
🔊 Uncover the way sound lives in the body.
👂 What the size and shape of your ear reveals.
🛁 Learn the powerful affects of sound bath.
