On Thursday evening, Clazzical Notes and Pasadena Village put an hour of live music under the trees on East Washington Boulevard, free and open to anyone who shows up with a chair.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSerenade Under the Sycamores\u201d runs from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. and features Los Angeles artists Brighton Thomas and Louis Cheong. Their set moves across soul, jazz, classic rock, rhythm and blues, and indie, built on vocals and guitar, with material the organizers describe as both nostalgic and original.<\/p>\n<p>The presenting partners come at community music from different directions. Clazzical Notes programs live music in neighborhood settings around Pasadena. Pasadena Village is a nonprofit serving adults 55 and older, built on the idea that people age better when they stay connected to the neighborhoods they already live in \u2014 the same organization sponsoring Monday\u2019s Red Cross blood drive at the Collaboratory in Altadena.<\/p>\n<p>Free outdoor concerts have multiplied across the San Gabriel Valley this summer, but the sycamore grove at Washington Park is a different setting than a bandshell or a plaza. It is a neighborhood park with picnic tables, ballfields and a creek crossing, and the concert is scaled to it: one hour, two performers, no stage production to speak of.<\/p>\n<p>Registration is requested through Pasadena Village.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSerenade Under the Sycamores\u201d will run on Thursday, August 6 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. Washington Park, 700 E. Washington Blvd. in Pasadena.
