Mobile™

Since 1971 Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts Music Mobile program has brought the magic of music to thirdgraders throughout the community and since 2005, Pasadena Showcase has partnered with the Pasadena Conservatory of Music.

Over the years, the program introduced classical music and instruments that make up an orchestra to nearly 130,000 students. Through an entertaining, child-friendly presentation, students, many of them for the first time, were given a hands-on experience, gaining valuable exposure to symphonic music. The program received numerous local and national awards for originality and educational excellence.

Although the program has been paused since the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, grand plans for a revised Music Mobile program are in the works. Pasadena Showcase and the Pasadena Conservatory of Music saw the opportunity to reassess the program, concluding it was time to redesign it and establish a new path forward. Music Mobile has focused previously on symphonic music, but it was decided that offering a broader musical style would better serve our diverse population and be more inclusive. The creative process continues, and a new exciting Music Mobile program will launch in 2024!
