“T

he first thing you need to know is that flying is easy. It’s landing that can kill you.” As a newbie broadcast reporter for a spoof news program in Sacramento, I got the best — and scariest — assignments. Our program, “TV Lite,” was like “The Daily Show,” 25 years ahead of time, and I was their Samantha Bee. KCRA was a large NBC affiliate in a capital city, and we were broadcasting a yearlong pilot for a parody news program that ultimately did not sell. I share all this as background because one of my assignments was to fly solo in an ultra-light aircraft and film it. Great… except I’m scared spitless of heights! Fortunately, my courage often overshadows my common sense or fear. I was required to spend three hours in “flight school” before I could take off. We spent a lot of time in school talking about landing. What an apt metaphor for human beings of a certain age who say they’re afraid of falling when they are actually afraid of landing. I made friends with landings thanks to my gymnastics background as a kid and then my middle-aged passion for learning and teaching self-defense. An evangelist for emotional, verbal and physical self-defense, my book and film “Beauty Bites Beast” are testaments to my passion. In gymnastics and self-defense, counter-intuitive as it may seem, relaxing into a fall is the way to minimize injury. One of my dreams is to create a course for older people terrified of falling. I would put it under the rubric of the 501(c)(3) IMPACT Personal Safety of Los Angeles as a pilot for a global program. But I digress. Not long after I got my first Apple Watch, imagine my surprise when its “Fall Detection” function asked me if I’d fallen for no apparent reason. I am sitting in my rocker in my living room with my writing students when suddenly there’s an alert on my watch. I read it in silence while my students gaze on. “No, I haven’t fallen, you piece of crap Apple Watch!” Yes, I yell at my watch. All I had done was state something emphatically. When my Dick Tracy-type miracle of a watch feels my animated self, it apparently kicks into “have you fallen?” mode. The ignoramus device is ready to send the EMTs over. I poke the “I did not fall” selection in time to avoid a scene. Did the Apple software developers ask people concerned about falls what they’d like to see in a feature like that? Did they consult geriatric health care providers? Do they provide an option where the wearer can register their own worries? For instance, for people of any age, this “have you fallen” app could record when and where they are hiking, when to expect them back, and who to contact if they don’t return. But no. I have actually fallen twice, and neither time set off the fall feature. Why is my watch more upset at my self-expression than my relationship with gravity? Right now, Apple is airing a “911” ad showing how the watch has saved people’s lives… except none of them are elderly, nor have they fallen. I have bird feeders next to our Urbanite landscaping (Urbanite is recycled and repurposed concrete). It can be dicey to walk there since we don’t have mortar between our steppingstones. Bam! Down I go, on my side, no worse for wear. Did my Apple Watch ask me if I fell? No, it did not. What a tease. But the doozy of a fall that “should” have alerted my Apple Watch happened when I was taking care of a good friend’s dog, Bonzai. My friend’s husband needed to pick up Bonzai earlier than we had planned. He texted to say he was outside our house to pick up their pet. I still had my jammies on, so I slipped on a presentable dress to

meet him. Bonzai heard his voice before I could open the gate properly. She circled me, wound her leash around my legs, and pulled me over when she saw her dad. Splat! Her 65 pounds of pull splayed me out. Of course, Bonzai’s dad was horrified. “Are you OK?” “Yes, I’m fine.” “Are you sure?” “I just need to untangle my legs from Bonzai’s lead.” “Are you hurt?” “No, really, I’m fine. I know how to fall.” Not convinced, he was nonetheless eager to get away, and I’m eager for him to leave, too. I furtively liberated myself from the leash, and off they went. Little did he know that my biggest concern was mooning him, as I hadn’t had time to put on underwear when he’d texted his arrival. He did not sign up for that! In the meantime, before I develop a pilot program for older people and self-defense that works for any age and gender, Apple developers, give me a call. Defined in a meaningful sense, self-defense applies to all sorts of circumstances, not just assaults. Learning how to land is gravitational self-defense. And Apple, you need to work on that app. Ellen Snortland has written “Consider This…” for a heckuva long time, and she also coaches first-time book authors!

habbat, the Jewish day of rest, is a time for restoration and reflection. It is also a time for justice, which is why the Pasadena Jewish Temple and Center has reached out to Urban Voices and asked them to sing during its Shabbat on the Martin Luther King Jr. weekend. The temple’s Social Justice Committee hosts the MLK Shabbat and developed a program that challenges its members to take active roles in promoting justice in their communities. This year, the Urban Voices choir will sing during their services and talk to them about issues related to the unhoused population. Urban Voices Project is a street choir for Skid Row residents. Many of its members have experienced homelessness or poverty, and their mission involves helping people shift their perceptions of homelessness. The event is 7:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 14, virtually through YouTube and Facebook. Social Justice Committee member Janice Markham is friends with Leeav Sofer, the artistic director of the Urban Voices Project. Sofer is also the bandleader for Mostly Kosher, of which Markham is a part. When the committee was deciding what to do this year, Markham brought up an Urban Voices performance. The idea got a thumbs up. “It was just a matter of reaching out to Leeav, as they’re usually quite busy at this time of year,” Markham said. “We were very fortunate to ask them early enough to get them on board.” She said it is important to the committee and the temple that their Shabbats speak to all members of the community — not just Jews. While Sofer is Jewish, he, too, is committed to accessibility and has incorporated that concern into the planning of the event. “We’ll engage with the synagogue community or any faith-based community,” Sofer said. “Most of the time our energies are intertwined into the service. We want to maintain some landmark moment of the service. Sometimes we will have guests perform with us at the end and, in this case, we’ll have pieces sprinkled through the evening.” Program’s voices raise up justice The program is filled with songs that speak to justice and choir’s mission. One of the pieces is an original arrangement of “We Shall Overcome,” which was written by their late accompanist Lawrence Jones. “He passed away unexpectedly in January 2021,” Sofer said. “He was battling cancer. He had gone through homelessness, and he was a veteran. He found our choir, and we were able to hire him on staff as our accom-

panist. He was involved in launching satellite companies and was a legitimate gospel pianist. He inspired this arrangement, and after his passing, we completed it and made a music video with it.” The music video was made just as vaccines were approved. The video turned into a vaccine advocacy project. Because they could not sing together at that time, they did the song in American Sign Language. They will put their voices together for the song at the temple. “We’re excited to premiere it at this venue and in this community,” Sofer said. Other songs on the set list include “Walk with Me” by Maggie Wheeler and “I Am an Endangered Species” by Diane Reeves. The first, Sofer said, is a call to action that advances the choir’s message surrounding advocacy and personalizing and humanizing the homelessness experience. The second is a powerful feminist song. With the third piece, “Rise Again,” the choir will invite the audience to sing along. “So much of our advocacy work when we perform is truly to try to humanize and personalize the narrative of people who have lived experience with homelessness but, more than that, to eliminate the ‘us and them,’” Sofer said. “We want to leave the concert feeling we are in this together, shoulder to shoulder, which is why we ask the audience to sing with us. We invite them to fight the fight with us.” Throughout the event, they will share testimonies and personal experiences. Committee issues call to action Markham said the committee aims to present things to temple members that are actionable and challenges them to pursue social justice in concrete ways. “One thing we try to stay consistent about — and this Shabbat will be no exception — is to have elements of our event where people will walk out and feel motivated to do something,” Markham said. “As a Jew, as an activist, as an artist, this is very important to me. I know I can speak for my whole committee that we really hope the message Leeav has been speaking about and the whole Urban Voices project will motivate people to volunteer or pass along the message or donate.” They have focused on bridging the gap between communities in Pasadena. The group’s late chair, Rabbi Marvin Gross, worked tirelessly on homelessness issues. Gross was the former CEO of Union Station in Pasadena and coordinated homeless services in the greater San Gabriel Valley. “He would be pleased to see we are front and center on the issue,” Markham said. “It was his mantra to always have people leave

Members of the Urban Voices Project lift their voices to sing about social justice. wanting to do something. That is the goal that we have with this evening, and I hope people will be encouraged to be there for the uplifting music and story.” Event links social and racial justice Both group leaders, Markham and Sofer, said there are many commonalities between the organizations that makes sense for them to come together near Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Sofer said that many argue that homelessness is a new form of racism. Statistically in Los Angeles, 37.8% of the unhoused population were African American in 2020, according to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), while only making up 9% of the general population. An additional 32.5% are Hispanic/Latino, and only 24.9% are white. A 2019 LAHSA report discovered that racism, discrimination and unconscious bias has contributed to homelessness in the city. During its research, it found cases of systemic bias in policies affecting housing, employment, criminal justice and child welfare that were a part of homelessness’ underlying causes. Sofer said there has long been a connection between the Jewish and civil rights movements. Both advocate for those who have been marginalized. Jewish leaders such as Rabbis Joshua Heschel and Uri Miller were part of the coalition of civil rights leaders who marched on Selma and Washington and sought to raise up oppressed individuals and communities. “We have a diversity of races in our choir,” Sofer said. “But even those not of a minority call out the race issues and name it. So here on MLK weekend, it’s an opportunity to activate that connection that has been prevalent in our

country and really fight for the marginalized and use that voice we’ve always had. We are bringing those voices together, and for those that aren’t a part of either diaspora, they can come and witness it themselves and feel activated and uplifted. Contemplation and community Markham said the Shabbat service is also a welcoming service and a call to rest. “So many of us during this time are trying to keep our lives going and work as hard as we possibly can,” Markham said. “Even dealing with the challenge of a global pandemic and the past couple years related to it, I look forward to Shabbat because it demands we take a step away from our stresses and from work. We can use the universality of what is so needed at this time to connect with our social justice Shabbat, to come out of ourselves and be inclusive of not only what we are going through but what other people are going through.” Shabbat is from sundown on Friday to sundown on Saturday. Markham describes it as a time that they not only engage in contemplation and rest, but they welcome music and togetherness with their community members, rabbi and cantor. During the past few years, they have been together via Zoom and social media. They were still able to engage with each other and with their traditions. Urban Voices Project has advocated for vaccinations on Skid Row, so all choir members are vaccinated. Sofer said it is important to share that message. The choir typically has about 25 members. Right now, it performs with 12 to 16 singers. “We are excited to be performing together again,” Sofer said.

• BUSINESS • Marcus & Millichap completes mixed-use portfolio sale

By Pasadena Weekly Staff

arcus & Millichap helped sell Shops On Hill, a two-building residential and retail portfolio in Pasadena. The properties sold for a total of $18 million. “The influx of companies into the Pasadena submarket is stimulating the employment market and increasing consumer demand, which in turn is driving growth for local boutique retailers,” said Dana Brody, senior vice president investments in Marcus & Millichap’s Encino office. “Our broad-based marketing campaign generated multiple cash offers, and we closed the sale within 3% of the asking price.” Brody and Floyd Shaheen, first vice president, investments, represented the seller, Engine Real Estate. The buyer was represented by Elan Kermani of CityStreet Commercial. “As part of our marketing process, we created a compelling narrative to illustrate how Shops On Hill has elevated the local boutique shopping and dining experience,” Shaheen said. The properties are in Pasadena’s Bungalow Heaven neighborhood, blocks from Interstate 210 and a short drive from a Los Angeles Metro Gold Line station. The two buildings are situated across Washington Boulevard from each other, one on the north side and one on the south side. The north side property is a 24,691-squarefoot, two-story structure with 50 surface parking lot spaces built in 1922. There are 14 ground-level retail tenants and 12 residential apartments on the second floor. A 32-space, 0.25-acre parking lot is adjacent. The building on the south side of the street is a 9,511-square-foot, one-story multitenant commercial structure with four retail tenants built in 1925. The portfolio’s tenants include Lark Cake Shop, Vanity Studio, One Life Yoga, Lavender & Honey, and Millie’s Restaurant and Café.

Los Angeles Opera conductor Grant Gershon will lead the Pittance Orchestra’s third concert of the season.

Theresa Dimond spearheads the first concert of the season with a creative selection of percussion performances.

Pittance unveils 2022 season of opera chamber music By Bridgette M. Redman Pasadena Weekly Contributing Writer

pera, by its very nature, is typically done on a grand scale. Singers command large stages supported by choruses spread out behind them. Full orchestras perform hidden away in pits while providing sweeping music. The Pittance Chamber Music seeks to bring a more focused look at opera by scaling its music down to chamber-size performances. Since 2013, artistic director Lisa Sutton — who is also the assistant concertmaster of the Los Angeles Opera Orchestra — has been arranging small concerts featuring musicians from the orchestra and vocalists from the LA Opera Chorus and the LA Opera Young Artists Program. Now, after more than a year of pandemic silence, they have announced a new season in a new venue, bringing concerts designed to personalize opera and give audiences a more intimate view of the artists who create it. While their seasons normally begin with concerts in the fall, this season was delayed by COVID-19 issues, so their first show will be in January. “We are all part of the Los Angeles Opera. We’re a group that is bound together by that common thread,” Sutton said. “I like to shine the spotlight on the orchestra. During the opera, they’re down in the pit. They’re heard but not seen.” Two of the three concerts in the 2022 season were planned for 2021 and had to be canceled. “The artists were so disappointed that we couldn’t do them, so I said we’d do them when we come back,” Sutton said. The upcoming season is: Theresa Dimond and Friends: 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 22 The first concert of the year takes a deep dive into the pit — landing in the percussion section. Hosted by the LA Opera Orchestra’s principal percussionist and UCLA lecturer Theresa Dimond, the program features a wide-ranging repertoire performed by musicians from the percussion, woodwind and string sections of the orchestra. • Ingolf Dahl: “Concerto a Tre for Clarinet, Violin and Cello”

• Arvo Pärt: “Spiegel Im Spiegel (Cello and Marimba)” • Nathan Daugherty: “Burn 3 for Flute, Clarinet and Marimba” • Barbara Kolb: “Homage to Keith Jarrett and Gary Burton (Flute and Marimba)” • Gerard Lecointe: “Point Bak (Mallet Ensemble)” “The Lyric Oboe:” 7:30 p.m. Saturday, February 26 The second concert features LA Opera Orchestra principal oboist Leslie Reed, pianist Edith Orloff and members of the LA Opera Orchestra in a recital program of favorite works that reflect the lyric side of the oboe, ranging from the pastoral to folk traditions, including works inspired by famous paintings. • Saint-Saens: “Sonata for Oboe and Piano” • Gilles Silvestrini: “Etudes for Oboe” inspired by the paintings of Boudin, Monet, Renoir and Manet” • Joseph Horovitz: “Quartet for Oboe and Strings” • Gabriel Fauré: “Pièce” • Jacques Ibert: “Escales” • Nino Rota: “Elegia” • Gabriel Pierne: “Serenade” • Alyssa Morris: “Collision Etudes: (Inspired by the paintings of Cassatt, Mitchell, Thomas and O’Keeffe)” • Arnold Bax: “Quintet for Oboe and Strings” “Liebeslieder!” 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 23 Pittance presents an evening featuring the complete Liebeslieder-Walzer of Johannes Brahms for vocal quartet and piano four hands. Members of the LA Opera Chorus are joined by soprano Elissa Johnston, with LAO conductors Grant Gershon and Jeremy Frank at the keyboard. • Johannes Brahms: “Liebeslieder-Walzer, Op. 52 and 65”

New venue This season, the musicians move to First United Methodist Church, which was founded in 1875 and located at 500 E. Colorado Boulevard, Pasadena. Sutton said that apart from the beautiful acoustics, it is a wonderful venue because the front of the church has a stage or a chancel. It’s spacious enough to accommodate the larger instruments needed for the first concert. She said it has a beautiful Steinway grand piano that they’ll use in the third concert. Sutton played concerts in the space many years ago as a member of the LA Chamber Orchestra and recently returned to hear a colleague’s recital. “I remembered how great it was acoustically and how awe-inspiring architecturally,” Sutton said. “You walk in, and it blows you away with the high ceiling and the beauty.” She is friends with the minister of music, Greg Norton. “It feels a little bit like a return to the fold with him because I’ve known him for so many years,” Sutton said. “I talked to him about the concert series, and he helped me get that organized. I’m grateful to him for that.” Percussions take center stage Sutton said the stage size made the opening concert possible. At one point, they need four marimbas and a xylophone, which remain on stage for the entire program. Sutton has wanted to perform this for some time. The lead percussionist, Dimond, is a longtime friend and is a lecturer at UCLA. “She’s well-equipped to talk to audiences, and she does it in a very engaging way,” Sutton said. “She loves to do that, and it’s a big part of the concert.” Sutton said the two of them chose the pieces. Dimond sent her pages of pieces, and she listened to all of them. “Between the two of us, we figured it out,” Sutton said. “There are certain things you have to take into consideration. I like to see what she wanted to do, and she sent me a list. Then we finessed the personnel. Each group is a good team, compatible personally and artistically.”

Oboist tells stories In a program that had to be canceled earlier because of the pandemic, Reed designed a concert around the oboe. “Leslie Reed is the principal oboe in the LA Orchestra, which is a big position, similar to a concert mistress,” Sutton said. “She had a really wonderful idea about featuring the oboe as a lyric instrument and focusing on historically how it was used as an instrument in the pastoral sense by shepherds.” Reed wanted to do pieces that were based on famous paintings. Sutton is working out how they might feature those paintings in the concert. “She had all this enthusiasm about her program, I just let her go with it,” Sutton said. “I told her, ‘This is your program. You tell me what you want to do.’ She’s never been a featured artist in our program. We’ve had the principal cellist, the principal bass, the principal clarinetist. This is really her turn.” Vocalists in story cycle The third concert showcases Brahms’ “Love Song” waltzes performed by a vocal quartet and four hands on a piano. The concert was the brainchild of Gershon, who was the LA Opera conductor and chorusmaster for many years. “He’s an amazing pianist and just a delightful human being in every respect,” Sutton said. “These particular pieces are personal favorites of mine. I’ve done one of the books years ago with members of the chorus. Gershon wanted to do the complete cycle. I said, ‘Let’s go for it.’” Gershon and Frank will sit side by side on a Steinway piano and play with four hands. Johnston, who is Gershon’s wife, will sing soprano. Sutton is still lining up the remaining three singers from the LA Opera chorus. “The music is incredibly stunning,” Sutton said. “They are stunning pieces and lots of fun.” Live chamber music returns Sutton hopes audiences are as excited to return as her musicians are. During lockdown, they sometimes were able to get two instrumentalists together to play from across the room. “They were dying to play, even without an audience,” Sutton said. “Just to be playing music together was a very emotional experience for them. It’s emotional for them to come back and it has been a real awakening for everyone to realize the gift that they have and the gift that they can share.” She said the venue is very accessible. There are no stairs, and parking is free in the lot next door. “It is an opportunity to hear high-quality chamber music in an awe-inspiring historic venue,” Sutton said. “The music is the main thing, but the setting is going to be quite magical.”

Reflektion Design shares authentic ancestral art, décor

Photo courtesy of Anitra Terrell

By Luke Netzley Pasadena Weekly Deputy Editor

outh Pasadena’s Anitra Terrell was in the lowest point of her life after losing her job. She reflected on her happiest memory: an eight-week trip to Ghana as a Fulbright scholar in 2006. “A museum near where I was living at the time got word that I was going to Ghana and asked me to be a textile buyer while I was there and to purchase various African fabrics for their permanent collection,” Terrell said. During her trip, she worked at the college in the mornings and afternoons, then spent her evenings in the marketplace. Terrell also spent time in rural villages to see how African textiles were handmade. She also learned about the local art. “It was such a transformative experience, and I was instantly drawn to it,” Terrell said. “I fell in love with the culture and artistry of these ancestral crafts, ones that have been made the same for generations.” From traversing rope bridges above the idyllic canopies of the Ghanaian rainforest to learning the art of haggling in bustling marketplaces, Terrell gained an invaluable insight into the art and culture of Ghana. “I was laid off in 2013 and, like a lot of people, I wasn’t sure what to do at that point or where to go next,” Terrell said. “So, I sat still, and I thought about the happiest moments in my life. The time I spent in Ghana surfaced repeatedly, and I said, ‘Whatever I do next, I want that experience to be a part of it.’” With bachelor’s and master’s degrees in marketing, Terrell wanted to use her business experience to uplift artists and share pieces of art that meant a lot to her. Then, one day while she was out shopping for bedding, she was inspired. “We often go into stores and think, ‘OK, this stuff is cool,’ but it doesn’t speak to you,” Terrell explained. “That was the light bulb moment. I said, ‘If I’m in the store looking for something that speaks to me, my experiences and my culture, I’m sure a lot of other people are, too.’ And so I decided I was going to create a home décor brand that celebrates the various types of African art and interiors to help other people find more of those pieces and create that sense of connection to African art and culture.” Armed with her past partnerships with artisans across the African continent and a burning desire to share her love for their ancestral crafts, Terrell started Reflektion Design in a South Pasadena studio apartment, where she used her bed as a cutting table and stored fabrics in the closet. “South Pasadena is such a warm and beautiful place,” Terrell described. “It definitely helped inspire the colors that I use and the fabrics that I source. My first major pop-up was at the West Elm in Pasadena, and the community was very welcoming to Reflektion Design.” The business has grown into a thriving online marketplace and has been featured by Architectural Digest, Essence Magazine and HGTV. Terrell works directly with artisans in Ghana, Uganda and Kenya to source baskets, wall art, tableware and throw pillows to customers around the world. They’re drawn to the shop by the visual beauty of the products and their rich history. “It’s like when you have a family heirloom in your home, like a blanket that belonged to your grandmother or a cigar box that belonged to an uncle of yours,” Terrell said. “Every time you see that item in your home, you’re reminded of that individual or maybe a story or an experience you had with them that brings back good memories. It’s the same with art. A lot of customers that I have either aspire to travel to Africa or they’ve been in the past. Many of them have relatives who were in the Peace Corps, and they say, ‘Wow, this reminds me of the trip that I took to Nigeria 30 years ago. I haven’t seen this type of art since.’ “So just like we have our family heirlooms. We also have pieces from our travels or from special occasions. I believe that the more things we have in our home with meaning, the more meaningful of a home we create.” Terrell will continue to form retail partnerships with artists and artisans across continental Africa and will design her own art as well. “I want to encourage people to shop small,” Terrell said. “Many larger chain stores may carry similar products, but check with your local businesses first. Oftentimes the smaller businesses have a closer connection to the artisans themselves, so you know you’re getting something authentic and the artisan is being paid a fair wage.” To visit and stay connected with Reflektion Design, visit their website, reflektiondesign. com, or social media pages on Facebook and Instagram @reflektiondesign.

After a short career as a touring classical pianist, George Ko found solace in the world of media and technology, eventually leading him back to the piano.

George Ko finds solace as a professional pianist t a time when the entire world seemed to come to a halt, the pandemic inspired people everywhere to rearrange the hierarchy of needs used to assess what truly matters to them. Pasadena resident George Ko is no different. He found himself standing at the crossroads of his future. Ko grew up in Orange County as a first-generation American in his family. His parents were Taiwanese immigrants who moved to the United States in the ’70s and ’80s and always stressed the importance of creating and taking the opportunities that life can present. “My mom wanted to be a concert pianist growing up. They were so poor she borrowed chalk and then drew all 88 keys on the floor and just imagined what piano would sound like.” Ko began playing the piano as a child, performing in competitions, and attending weekly piano lessons in Pasadena. He hated it at the time and would even run away from his piano bench. As he continued to play, however, he steadily reached prodigy status. By high school, he had been mentored by pianist pedagogue Cosmo Buono, performed in famous venues like Carnegie Hall, playing in the footsteps of the masters, and had finally begun to feel happy playing the piano. “Cosmo Buono was the first piano mentor I’d ever met who talked about mental health in the piano world,” Ko said. “He was an advocate not just for me as a piano

player but me as a person. His business partner Barry Alexander is another one of those kinds of people, and I’m indebted to both of them.” After enjoying early success as a young pianist, Ko went on to study economics at Harvard and entered the world of venture capital, taking after his entrepreneurial father. He and two fellow co-founders worked on one of the first Harvard-backed startups and were even featured in the Boston Globe, but it wasn’t meant to be. “It failed spectacularly, and I was depressed. There was a lot riding on us and a lot of pressure to succeed,” Ko said of the experience. “Then, I went to listen to a concert, and they were playing my favorite symphony. A light bulb went off in my head and I said, ‘I want to be a musician.’” Ko decided to drop out of school to study music for a year, returning to Los Angeles and conducting privately at the Colburn School and with former music director of the Pasadena Symphony Jorge Mester. He eventually returned to Harvard and majored in music. After graduation, Ko toured as a classical concert pianist for a year and a half. “I found myself in the classical world, and I was super alone. As a classical pianist, you don’t really have an entourage. When you’re backstage, it’s just you, and the pressure to perform is so high that sometimes you don’t even want people next to you. It just becomes very isolationist, and it’s incredibly competitive.” This pressure and competitiveness became so unbearable that at one point, Ko

recounted, there had been several attempts to try and take his concerts away from him and someone even tried to break his hand so that he could not perform. “I wasn’t happy, and I couldn’t make music anymore. It just felt dead, so I left that world.” Ko found solace in the world of media and technology, co-founding a company in Sawtelle with Eric Nakamura, founder of Giant Robot magazine, that supported creatives and artists as well as helped uplift members of the Asian American and Pacific Islander community. He then went on to work at a robotics startup and took a job at Caltech. The COVID-19 outbreak changed his life and the lives of so many others around the world. During the pandemic, Ko took an introspective look at himself and what he wanted from his life. “I did miss playing the piano, but I knew I didn’t want to play classical anymore. I believe classical musicians are the best cover artists of all time, like people today can play Beethoven better than Beethoven played his own music. That’s the level music has gotten to. You can go to a concert hall and listen to someone play Brahms with the most perfect high-fidelity technique. When you can appreciate it at that level, it’s like, ‘Wow, I’m witnessing magic.’ But then, as a creative, I think, ‘It’s not my music. I’m still telling Beethoven or Chopin’s story.’ I wanted to tell my story my way.” Though he was playing the piano once more, something felt different. It was this change in mindset that began to mold Ko into a classical improvisation pianist. “I always wanted to improvise like a jazz player, to play what was in my head. People forget that until Mahler, so until the late 1800s, almost every classical composer improvised, and no concert was the same. No concert had repeat pieces, and if you heard Chopin, Beethoven or Brahms play at a salon, they always improvised. I desperately wanted that skill.” During the pandemic, Ko’s past colleague Nakamura reached out to him and asked if he would play weekly meditative music on his Instagram profile for the Giant Robot community. Ko agreed, and while he was performing, the audience was able to send him song requests. In order to accommodate the requests of the audience, Ko began to improvise his music on the spot. “That training triggered something in my brain. After about two months of doing that, I started noticing that I could begin to auditorily visualize the entire instrumental arrangement to a song in my head and make sense of where it was on the piano.” As this new form of performance gradually became instinct, Ko decided that he was going to record a 12-track album and share the process online. He began performing his music on social media platforms like Instagram and Clubhouse and gradually grew his fan base. “All of these artists I’ve admired my entire life would reach out to me over Instagram, and one even said, ‘We haven’t been able to go to live concerts in so long, so we just put your phone next to a bowl and I had dinner with my husband while watching you play the piano.’” Ko gained a large online following, with fans listening from across several continents through his social media accounts, and as parts of the world began to reopen following the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, he started a live, in-person tour. “I want to bring accessibility and show that classic music is meaningful, it’s deep, and it’s fun. And I think one of the most fun things to do is take requests from the audience, like a story or mood, or a song from their favorite Spotify playlist, movie, TV show or video game and then improvise it live.” At the age of 29, Ko has toured the West Coast of the United States to the east and all the way back across the country again, with a holiday residency at Row DTLA planned for December. On Feb. 1, he will travel across the Atlantic for a weeklong residency at the Arctic Hideaway in Fleinvær, Norway, where he will also host workshops with guests and compose a new album. While the road to get to this point in his career was not always clearly laid out before him, Ko was brave enough to believe in his passion and purpose, to leave his steady career path and focus instead on the pursuit of what he truly loved. Though the decision at the time was difficult and there were many moments of hardship along the way, Ko can now look back upon what he has achieved so far and smile. He has become a Young Steinway Artist; performed at Carnegie Hall almost a dozen times; given inaugural concerts for the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Bowers Museum and the Fogg Museum; performed for the Obama family; been awarded the David McCord Prize from Harvard University in recognition of his musical ability; and become a five-time laureate of the Bradshaw and Buono International Piano Competition. “Life is beautiful, even if it’s unpredictable. I don’t know what’s going to happen today, but what I do know is that I can live today and strive to get better every day.”

Actress Shobna Gulati is the only major performer who has starred in both the film and stage versions.

‘Everybody’s talking about Jamie’ at the Ahmanson Theatre By Jeff Favre Pasadena Weekly Contributing Writer

he moment Tom MacRae knew it was time to take the leap from successful veteran TV writer to novice lyricist came when he watched the joy and acceptance showered on Jamie Campbell — a 16-year-old with drag queen aspirations who wanted to go to the prom in a dress and heels. The small English town of Bishop Auckland gained international recognition when Campbell’s story was told in a documentary. That convinced MacRae and his collaborators to turn the story of overcoming intolerance into a musical, believing it could connect with a universal audience filled with people who desire to be seen and welcomed for who they are. “It was a huge surprise to everyone involved,” MacRae said about the real-life Jamie’s prom night. “It was such a triumph of the human spirit. And particularly for that kind of working-class community of Jamie Campbell’s, where it’s easy to go, oh, you know, working-class people, they’re all kind of prejudiced and stupid — and this is fundamentally not true. Watching that feel-good, unexpected kind of warm, wonderful ending, it really does feel like it should sing. And then that was kind of what hooked us in.” A furious creation process followed, as MacRae, composer Dan Gillespie Sells and director Jonathan Butterell created “Everybody’s Talking About Jamie,” which is a fictional recreation based on the true story. The show debuted in 2017 in Sheffield, where the story takes place. It then moved to London’s West End, and the team followed that

by adapting a movie version streaming on Amazon Prime. Downtown Los Angeles’ Ahmanson Theatre will host the American premiere of “Everybody’s Talking About Jamie” from Jan. 16 to Feb. 20. The cast features actress Shobna Gulati, the only major performer who has starred in both the film and stage versions. The story follows Jamie (Layton Williams), who dreams of becoming a drag queen. He lives with his fiercely supportive mother, Margaret (Melissa Jacques), and he’s supported by his friend Pritti (Hiba Elchikhe), a shy, reserved Muslim girl, and Margaret’s friend Ray (Gulati). Jamie’s detractors are his father, who he doesn’t live with, and a school bully, Dean. Though the songs sprang from MacRae’s head, he was pleased to know the people depicted in the story said he captured their feelings, in particular with Margaret’s ballad “He’s My Boy.” “For Margaret Campbell, all the thoughts were in her mind. She just didn’t have a song to sing about it,” MacRae said. “She wasn’t surprised that we’d kind of put that spin on her character. She was like, ‘Oh, yeah, that’s my song. I just didn’t know it existed yet.’” Developing realistic characters — and finding the humor in them — has long been a staple for the writer, whose lengthy credits of English shows include episodes of “Dr. Who” and whose move to Los Angeles a few years ago came with screen credits for the TNT show “The Librarians.” But crafting lyrics was new to him. “I try to approach it like dialogue,” MacRae explained. “Like with the song ‘He’s My Boy,’ one of the reasons why the song lands so strongly is not just because it is a good song, but it’s because Margaret has spent the whole of the show not saying what she thinks, and then suddenly it all comes out. So when it does, it is quite poetic, you know, and here’s her talking about these kinds of feelings and moods, and she’s saying things in a way she wouldn’t say in real life.” The relationships are one of the keys, MacRae said, to making the dialogue feel authentic. Gulati, who portrays Margaret’s best friend, agrees. “I think it’s the relationships between the women that are important,” said Gulati, whose extensive work in English TV is highlighted by eight years on the famous soap opera “Coronation Street.” “(Ray and Pritti) are accepting as to where Jamie’s at and what Jamie believes and what Jamie is. And I think each is trying to help Jamie find his authentic self. In my own experience as a single mom, you want to do your best.” MacRae praised Gulati for her versatility, moving the character from stage to screen and back again. “I’ve seen Shobna do it on stage and throw the laughs out to the back of the audience and keep an audience of 1,500 people engaged,” MacRae said. “And I’ve seen her do the exact same line on camera and keep it so close and tight and real. She’s so funny. And so much of Ray’s spark comes from her.” MacRae is excited for “Jamie” to be one of the earliest shows to bring theater back to the city. “A Christmas Carol” opened in November. Center Theatre Group canceled some performances with the recent surge in COVID-19, but the company hopes to return to its full schedule. Center Theatre Group Managing Director and CEO Meghan Pressman is glad to start the season with another optimistic production. “I really love that we’re bringing it to the LA audiences first,” Pressman said. “It’s been a goal of ours to have folks see it, because it’s just such a great, uplifting show with such an important story. Having a show about accepting and belonging is a great way for us to kind of welcome folks back to the theater.” It’s the welcoming message that pleases MacRae about how popular the show — and the movie — have become. He was surprised to find that the musical may be the first major production to have a Muslim character who wears a hijab. “We did a fan event and a girl came up to me and she said, ‘I’d never seen myself on stage before. This is the only musical that has a hijab-wearing Muslim girl as a lead.’ I said, ‘No, that can’t be,’ but I looked into it and it is. And I noticed that we have a big trans fan group. And, of course, there are no trans characters. But I know lots of trans kids have been in touch with me, and it means so much to them because they see something of themselves in Jamie.” MacRae said there appears to be a connection for audiences regardless of background or location, even though it takes place in a small town in England. “People in South Korea love it and people in Japan, and it was just about to open in Australia before COVID, and hopefully in the States it will be embraced in the same way,” he said. “Sheffield is not London, it’s not New York, but most places aren’t. Most places are kind of like Sheffield. So most people live in those places, and then they can see themselves in that we weren’t snobby or dismissive of that world at all. Sheffield and LA are many miles away, but actually we’re all just people trying to get on. And that’s what Jamie is. And that’s what he celebrates — that kind of ordinary life.”

Goodnight, Texas at Gramercy Theatre in New York City.

Goodnight, Texas’ cathartic new album compensates for postponed show S

By Bliss Bowen Pasadena Weekly Contributing Writer

an Francisco-based Americana quintet Goodnight, Texas was slated to open for Portland folk-rockers Fruition at the Lodge Room in Highland Park this weekend, a double bill that promised spirited music and camaraderie. But Jan. 6, fans were hit with COVID-19-era reality when Fruition announced on social media that, during a short run of concert dates, it learned the hard way that “even thoughtful precaution and guidelines just… didn’t work. We have a few confirmed positives in the touring party at this time. We won’t be able to clear isolation in time to perform our normal shows for you.” Goodnight, Texas likewise said it was “in everyone’s best interest to postpone” its tour dates, a wise but obviously disappointing choice. “Yes, we are bummed as well, but (it’s) definitely for the best,” Goodnight, Texas co-frontman Avi Vinocur confirmed in a follow-up exchange. “We’ll be back ASAP.” While the latest COVID-19 surge rolls on and fans await news about rescheduled show dates, they may take comfort from Goodnight, Texas’ fourth album, “How Long Will It Take Them to Die,” due Friday, Jan. 21, from Burning House Records. Two of its strongest tracks, “Borrowed Time” and the hopeful “Dead Middle,” have already been released. Set to a lighthearted country melody with a frisky backbeat, “Borrowed Time” imagines corner store runs and the fish-out-of-water awkwardness of a galactic traveler visiting when “land was burning, the smoke all up in the sky:”

“Made it down to Earth a couple hours ago Man, I don’t know what they’ve done with the place Yeah, they got gravity but I like it better in space” The cathartic “Dead Middle,” whose opening mandolin lick evokes Buddy & Julie Miller’s searing “Chalk,” is awash in soulful uplift, Adam Nash’s pedal steel, and turns of phrase (“If I’m gonna catch hell for speaking my mind/ Then I might as well make it count”) likely to invite singalongs in future concerts. “Well, the battle is almost over And there’s no sign of a truce We can fuss around in a stuck old engine

Maybe knock something loose But even then how do we fix it It’s an intricate machine We can leave the car and give up and walk Maybe someday reconvene” Fronted by North Carolina multi-instrumentalist Patrick Dyer Wolf (patrickdyerwolf.bandcamp.com) and prolific LA-raised singer-songwriter and producer Vinocur (avivinocurmusic.com), an ex-Stone Foxes guitarist/mandolinist, sometime Metallica collaborator and frequent Pasadena visitor, Goodnight, Texas’ self-described “garage roots Appalachian collaboration” is grounded in rustic early 20th-century blues and folk traditions. Their instrumentation — guitar, mandolin, banjo, violin over an electric rhythm section — handily suggests threads connecting past and present eras of poverty, inequality and struggle. The taut rhythm of slow-burn rocker “Hypothermic” counterbalances the irreverent old-time stomper “Gotta Get Goin’” and its references to Harpers Ferry, the Old West and Civil War infantry. Loping to a rubbery groove and harmonies, “Elegy” offers collegial counsel (“Don’t let ’em get you”), while fingerpicked ballad “Jane Come Down From Your Room” frames a father’s humbled confession to his daughter (“It’s nothing you did that made me mad/ It’s the fact that I have been a terrible dad”) and the spare “I’d Rather Not” voices a weary sentiment familiar to many (“I’ve been dealt a hand that’s missing cards/ But it’s what I’ve got/ I could try to deal with all the pain/ But I’d rather not”). Where the band’s accurately titled 2020 release “Live in Seattle, Just Before the Global Pandemic” captured its lively onstage dynamic and audience response, the songs and focused arrangements of “How Long Will It Take Them to Die” hit more quietly in the solar plexus with the recognition of shared experience. It may lack the immediacy of live performance, but it feeds a persistent need.

Artist delicately explores the fragility of life By Bridgette M. Redman Pasadena Weekly Contributing Writer

eath doesn’t have to be a depressing subject. In the case of artist Victoria Mercedes Arriola-Monaci, artwork can inspire viewers to reflect on the cycle of life and the fragility of time. Arriola-Monaci will exhibit works that explore life and death through a series of photographs featuring decaying plant matter and women who have been important role models from Jan. 15 to March 12. The exhibition will run from Saturday, Jan. 15, to Saturday, March 12, at SPARC Gallery inside the Chamber of Commerce at 1121 Mission Street, South Pasadena. “As It Is to Be” is filled with photographic still lives, something she calls “relic-like reminders of the fragile nature of human existence” and an ongoing tribute to key women in her life, both relatives and friends. The series began with photographs she calls “botanicals,” pictures of decaying plant material that she shot in her sink. Her white porcelain circa 1920s sink formed the perfect background, Arriola-Monaci said. She started taking photos during COVID-19 as a reflection on loss. While in Europe seeking gallery representation, her works were printed in Copenhagen on beautiful fibrous paper.

The photographs in the SPARC exhibition are Victoria Mercedes Arriola-Monaci’s tribute to women in her life. ingful. I want to treat them very gently. I want to pay respect to these women.” Throughout the series, Arriola-Monaci explores the precious and impermanent nature of existence. Life is fleeting, but it is still a wonderful, beautiful thing. She wants her art to reflect that and to provide its viewers with a serene experience. Viewers of her artwork have shared their impressions with her. Reactions included talking about the pieces’ ethereal nature; another said they looked like archaeological digs or images from crime scenes. Another friend said the undergarments inspired thoughts of sex and death. “They are very personal,” Arriola-Monaci said. “The undergarments are close to the skin, and without the body within the garments, it takes on a different meaning. The folds give it life, then the plant material coming out of it shows there is a different kind of life. The object of nature represents earth and the combining and returning and recycling. We have to embrace it. That is something the pandemic did for me. It helped me to embark and go forward. We all have limited time. I really want to create things.” Art is a second career for Arriola-Monaci, who is semiretired. Her artistic roots run deep in Pasadena. She worked for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory but gravitated toward geology. Once she started taking science classes at Pasadena College, she realized she wasn’t good at it and switched her major to ceramics — what she saw as the creative version of geology. She said her boss at JPL supported her pursuits and created a job for her as the artist-in-residence where she created technical illustrations and display paintings. “He made me feel confident about pursuing art as a career,” Arriola-Monaci said. “I was very inspired by working in the radar science and the atmosphere and earth scientists.” She eventually went into design, art direction and teaching to make a living. She founded Arriola Creative, a visual communications studio that provides strategic branding solutions. She’s taught at several universities including the California Institute of Technology. Arriola-Monaci is of Mexican descent and grew up in the Highland Park. Now she makes frequent trips to Denmark, speaks Danish and said she likes to identify as a MexiDane. “The aesthetics I bring to my work, they say it is very melancholic, but it is very representative of the Nordic aesthetic,” she said. Admission to the SPARC exhibit is free, but proof of vaccination status and masks will be required.

“As It Is to Be” by Victoria Mercedes Arriola-Monaci WHEN: Opening reception, 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 15; show continues through Saturday, March 12 WHERE: SPARC Gallery at the South Pasadena Chamber of Commerce, 1121 Mission Street, South Pasadena COST: Free admission INFO: By appointment only, 626-441-2339

External factors inspire a reflective show SPARC — which stands for South Pasadena Arts Council — was founded in 2007. Arriola-Monaci helped to name it and created its original branding. When she returned home from Europe, she contacted SPARC and asked to exhibit her work. She suggested January, which meant she had to kick into high gear to produce 25 pieces. As she began work, she experienced two losses — Regine, a very dear friend of hers, and her great aunt, Dia Aida. “They passed away in the same couple of weeks,” Arriola-Monaci said. “This is what the show is about. I felt like Regine and Dia Aida were channeling their energy through me. Regine and Aida were similar: tall, beautiful, independent women. I could feel them coming through me when I created this work. It gave me the courage to continue.” Each piece is named for the woman it honors, and it combines a piece of their clothing and a piece of decaying nature. The first piece was “Hannah,” which she created after she saw an old T-shirt hanging on a branch. She photographed it, and it inspired the series. “It’s not a regular T-shirt,” Arriola-Monaci explained. “It’s a top made out of wool with holes and stuff and an old tag on it. That made the statement. I went to the next garment, which was my own, and I treated it differently. The plant material I used within it was thorny, and I put it on the garment. I can be very soft on the inside and prickly on the outside — that’s kind of what happened.” She said she can’t use just any plant material. It has to be relevant to the work and what she is expressing. She spends a lot of time figuring out how the two will interact, exploring the shapes and textures, how the garment folds and what the two look like together. Most were shot in her studio, and it was important to her to use all-natural lighting, so she’d have to wait until certain times of day when there were no shadows. “How does the garment say something?” Arriola-Monaci said was a question she asked. “It felt like the garment was telling me what to do. I had to listen. I realized in the process that they’re very delicate arrangements and the light was important.” Arriola-Monaci said she is attracted to anything decayed. She even has a dead lizard that she removed from her friend’s pool last summer, put in a box and then recently incorporated into her art. She said her whole studio is filled with pieces of decaying material that she can draw from when creating. The results with this series of the combined garments and plant material came out looking like relics or specimens of life past. “It’s about the beauty and the spirit of the person and how they are connected to the earth and how we return to the earth when we die,” Arriola-Monaci said. “It speaks to loss and nature but also to their personalities and environment. We’re all a part of the same cycle. We all return to the earth when we die and replant to refuel the next thing. It was a very cathartic experience working on these pieces. I created them within a month.” Not all the women featured in her photos have died. Pictures include ones of herself, her friends, her sister, her mother and her grandmother. She wants to honor women who had the biggest impact on her life. That included her mother, who at 87 is still alive but experiences dementia. “Your life is turned upside down when you realize that the person is not the same person anymore,” Arriola-Monaci said. “My mother was a single mother, and I was a single mother. I really appreciate and respect the responsibilities and lives of single women. You have to be a very strong person to get through it successfully. These are people I wanted to thank and to show them the significance they have paid in my life.” She is continuing the series as the relatives of the featured women send her garments. Dia Aida’s daughter just sent her aunt’s chapel veil. “It is beautiful,” Arriola-Monaci said. “It just touches you. I come to tears because they are so mean14 PASADENA WEEKLY | 01.13.22

Author shares thoughts behind his book, ‘The Rise’ By Laura Latzko Pasadena Weekly Contributing Writer

crash. There was more to the Black Mamba than just his NBA career. In his book “The Rise: Kobe Bryant and the Pursuit of Immortality,” Mike Sielski explores the athlete’s early life. As part of Vroman’s Bookstore’s live virtual series, Sielski will discuss his new book on Thursday, Jan. 20, in conversation with John Gonzalez. The writer is also hosting a 12-part podcast called “I Am Kobe.” Sielski, an award-winning sports columnist for The Philadelphia Inquirer, who covered the 2001 NBA Finals between the Lakers and the Philadelphia 76ers. “I grew up in the Philadelphia area,” Sielski said. “I’ve lived in the Philadelphia area for most of my life. The story of Kobe’s ties to the area is pretty well known to those of us here, but I thought it was not as well known to people around the country. … I thought there might be some appeal in building the book around that.” In his book, Sielski shares Bryant’s time at Lower Merion High School, Italy and his return to Pennsylvania. He led his high school team to a state championship in 1996. He also covers Bryant’s impact on the community — during his life and after his death. During his research, Sielski was struck by Bryant’s motivation in the eighth and ninth grade. “I don’t think I really had an appreciation for it until I started digging into his life like that,” said Sielski, who took a year to write the book. “He had this plan. He had it in him. He was groomed in some ways for this. He wanted it so badly at so young an age and knew that he could do it.” For his book, Sielski used audiotapes and transcripts from Jeremy Treatman, a journalist and commentator who was close to Bryant, about whom he planned to write a book in the 1990s. The author received Treatman’s tapes in December 2020, in advance of his March 2021 deadline. Sielski said he was a good choice for the book because he could look at his life with an objective lens. Treatman and Gregg Downer, Bryant’s high school coach, were encouraging. “They knew Kobe well, and other people have said similar things who knew Kobe back then: ‘We were looking for the right person to tell the story the right way’ — honestly and accurately,” he recalled. “I don’t want to speak for Jeremy, but for his part, I think it was simply a matter of timing. It almost worked out in the late ’90s. It didn’t. He was very successful in doing other things in his life. Here’s the chance to get the story told.” Sielski utilized various sources in his research, including high school newspapers, game videos, socially distanced in-person interviews and archives of The Philadelphia Tribune and The Bulletin. He worked closely with the Lower Merion Historical Society. “It was so enjoyable and so enlightening to me to be able to dive into the other aspects of that

community’s history, the conflicts there, all of the things that went into informing how people viewed Kobe and how they reacted to him when he arrived on the scene there,” Sielski said. “I wanted the setting to almost be a character in the story, no matter where that setting was, whether we were talking about Lower Merion, whether we were talking about the actual city of Philadelphia and its basketball history, whether we are talking about the one chapter we spend in Italy with Kobe and his family there.” Sielski said he wanted to give readers a sense of Bryant’s life, especially at Lower Merion High School, even apart from basketball. “I wanted to talk to people who knew him away from basketball, who weren’t on the team,” Sielski said. “I don’t know that anybody knew this. He was involved in the Student Voice organization, the Black Student Union at Lower Merion. “I was able to speak to a number of his female friends and classmates, who could speak to certain sides of him that nobody really spoke to before They could speak to how he was grappling with his sense of identity, being a Black teenager in the early to mid-1990s who had lived in Europe for most of his early life and only moved back to the United States permanently when he was in eighth grade, when he was 13 years old.” He did not experience that most Black students in the Lower Merion school district did not share the same experiences as white students. “That was really important to me, to give people a look at what his social existence and academic existence were like back then,” Sielski said. He hopes to share information about Bryant’s life that even longtime fans might not know. “I wanted to try to take people places with Kobe that they had never been before, if I could,” he said. “What’s it like when he’s giving an oral presentation in English class? His relationship with his favorite English teacher. Those sorts of things. I wanted it to be an intimate book, in that regard.” The book gives greater insight into the early relationships between the basketball player, his siblings Sharia and Shaya, his mother Pam and his father, Joe, a former basketball player. “(Bryant and his father) were so, so close when he was young and throughout his high school career,” he said. “You can see certain things in Joe’s early life and some of the things that he goes through. Kobe’s got so much of his mother, Pam, in him, too, the Catholic upbringing, the emphasis on education, some of his personality traits. He was very much a mixture of his parents.”

LAW OFFICES OF ROGER C. HSU, Plaintiff, vs. YI LIU, an individual; and DOES 1 through 10, inclusive, Defendants. COMPLAINT FOR: (1) BREACH OF CONTRACT; (2) QUANTUM MERUIT; (3) OPEN BOOK ACCOUNT; (4) ACCOUNT STATED; AND (5) UNJUST ENRICHMENT Plaintiff LAW OFFICES OF ROGER C. HSU ("Plaintiff") alleges (1) breach of contract, (2) quantum meruit, (3) open book account, (4) account stated, and (5) unjust enrichment against 3 defendants as follows: GENERAL ALLEGATIONS 1. Plaintiff is, and at all times mentioned in this complaint ("Complaint") was, a law office doing business in the City of Pasadena, County of Los Angeles, State of California and has complied with all required licensing regulations. 2. Defendant YI LIU ("Defendant") also known as Louis Yi Liu is and has been at all relevant times herein an individual residing in the City of Pasadena, County of Los Angeles, State of California. 3. Plaintiff does not know the true names and capacities of defendants sued herein as DOES 1 through 10 inclusive, and therefore sues said defendants by such fictious names pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure section 474. Plaintiff will amend this Complaint to state the true 14 names and capacities of the fictitiously named defendants when the same is ascertained. Plaintiff is informed and believes and based thereon alleges that each of the factiously named defendants are legally responsible in some manner for the events and damages alleged in this Complaint under the causes of action stated herein. 4. This action is brought in the correct court because the contract was to be performed here in Los Angeles County, California. 5. Defendant executed a contract ("Contract") with Plaintiff, dated October 7, 2016, for legal services to be rendered by Plaintiff and associates of his law firm in exchange for payment 22 based on a schedule of various hourly rates. A true and correct copy of that Contract is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and herein incorporated by this reference. 6. From October 7, 2016 until November 2, 2017, Plaintiff performed legal services for Defendant. On November 2, 2 017, Plaintiff filed a Motion to Be Relieved as Counsel because Defendant refused to pay the outstanding balance on invoices issued by Plaintiff for legal fees and stopped communicating with Plaintiff altogether. 7. On March 11, 2021, Plaintiff sent Defendant a demand letter, which included a Notice of Client's Right to Fee Arbitration, requesting that Defendant pay the outstanding invoices and notifying Defendant of her right to fee arbitration. A true and correct copy of that demand letter is attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and herein incorporated by this reference. 8. Plaintiff requested that Defendant reply to the demand letter within thirty-five (35) 5 calendar days, but Defendant failed to do so. 9. As such, Plaintiff is forced to bring this action in order to recuperate legal fees and 7 costs owed by defendants. FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION Breach of Contract 10. Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates by reference herein all the allegations set forth in Paragraphs 1 through 9, inclusive. 11. Defendant executed a Contract with Plaintiff, dated October 7, 2016, for legal services 13 to be rendered by Plaintiff and associates of his law firm in the case of Mico Liang Chung, et. al. vs. Louis Yi Liu, et. al. bearing Case No. BC541482, then pending in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, in exchange for various hourly rates, ranging from $280 per hour for work performed by the associate attorneys, to $350 per hour for work performed by Roger C. Hsu. 12. Plaintiff and his associates have performed legal services pursuant to that Contract and have not been paid the outstanding invoice of $44,727.91, which is the sum of $122,285.22 in legal fees minus $69,267.55 awarded to Plaintiff as extraordinary fees by the Probate Court, minus 20 $3,592.01 awarded to Plaintiff as reimbursement of attorney costs by the Probate Court, minus $4,697.75 returned to Plaintiff by Defendant's appellate counsel. Said sum of $44,727.91 is now due, payable and outstanding despite repeated requests for payment of the balance. 13. Plaintiff has fully performed all obligations under the agreement, except those he was prevented or excused from performing. 14. By not paying as agreed, Defendant has breached the Con-

per hour for work performed by the associate attorneys, to $350 per hour for work performed by Roger C. Hsu. 12. Plaintiff and his associates have performed legal services pursuant to that Contract and have not been paid the outstanding invoice of $44,727.91, which is the sum of $122,285.22 in legal fees minus $69,267.55 awarded to Plaintiff as extraordinary fees by the Probate Court, minus 20 $3,592.01 awarded to Plaintiff as reimbursement of attorney costs by the Probate Court, minus $4,697.75 returned to Plaintiff by Defendant's appellate counsel. Said sum of $44,727.91 is now due, payable and outstanding despite repeated requests for payment of the balance. 13. Plaintiff has fully performed all obligations under the agreement, except those he was prevented or excused from performing. 14. By not paying as agreed, Defendant has breached the Contract and thereby 26 proximately caused Plaintiffs damages. 15. Defendant's breach is without legal excuse or justification. 16. As a result of Defendant's breach, Plaintiff has suffered damages in an amount to be proven at trial-at a minimum, $44,727.91. SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION Quantum Meruit 17. Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates by reference herein all the allegations set forth in Paragraphs 1 through 16, inclusive. 18. In the alternative to the first cause of action for breach of contract, Plaintiff seeks a 7 recovery of the reasonable value of his services under Business and Professions Code § § 6148( c), 6148(d)(2), and 6148(d)(4). 19. Plaintiff acted pursuant to an explicit request for services by the Defendant, as set forth in the Contract. Namely, Defendant engaged Plaintiff to perform legal services for Defendant. 20. The legal services performed by Plaintiff conferred a benefit on the Defendant. Specifically, Plaintiff was able to successfully defend a lawsuit brought against Defendant after performing much more than one-hundred hours of legal work. Most of Plaintiffs arguments were adopted by the jury and the trial court in that case. The few that weren't, were later fully adopted by the appellate court which overturned the erroneous judgment entered by the jury and the trial court against Defendant in that case resulting in a subsequent judgment in favor of Defendant entered by the trial court pursuant to the appellate court's final order. 21. As such, Plaintiff is entitled to a recovery of the reasonable value of his services in an 19 amount to be determined according to proof at trial, but not less than $44,727.91. THIRD CAUSE OF ACTION Open Book Account 22. Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates by reference herein all the allegations set forth in 23 Paragraphs 1 through 21, inclusive. 23. Within four (4) years prior to the commencement of this action in Los Angeles, California, Defendant became indebted to Plaintiff on a written open book account in the sum of approximately $44,727.91. 24. Said sum of $44,727.91 accrued as a result of financial transactions between Plaintiff and Defendant which contemplated the legal services provided by Plaintiff. 25. Plaintiff kept an account of the debts and credits that accrued from the transactions, which were reflected in invoices Plaintiff provided to Defendant. 26. The final invoice reflects that Defendant owes Plaintiff money on the account in the minimum amount of$44,727.91. 27. As such, Plaintiff is entitled to recover the amount owed on the open book account, according to proof at trial. FOURTH CAUSE OF ACTION Account Stated 28. Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates by reference herein all the allegations set forth in Paragraphs 1 through 27, inclusive. 29. Within four (4) years prior to the commencement of this action in Los Angeles, California, an account was stated in writing by and between Plaintiff and Defendant, wherein it was 13 agreed that Defendant was indebted to Plaintiff in the sum of approximately $44,727.91. 30. No part ofthe sum of$44,727.91 has been repaid by the Defendant, although repeated 15 demands have been made by Plaintiff, and there is now due, owing, and unpaid from Defendant to Plaintiff the sum of at least $44,727.91, according to proof at trial. 31. As explained in detail above, there were previous transactions between the parties, 18 related to Plaintiffs performance of legal services for Defendant, establishing the relationship of 19 debtor and creditor. 32. The Contract between the parties is an express agreement which, in connection with 21 the invoices supplied to Defendant, sets forth the amount due from the Defendant to the Plaintiff. 33. Defendant expressly promised to pay the amount due in the Contract. 34. As such, Plaintiff is entitled to recover the amount owed on the account stated, according to proof at trial. FIFTH CAUSE OF ACTION Unjust Enrichment 35. Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates by reference herein all the allegations set fo rth in Paragraphs 1 through 34, inclusive. 36. Plaintiff performed legal ser-

$44,727.91, according to proof at trial. 31. As explained in detail above, there were previous transactions between the parties, 18 related to Plaintiffs performance of legal services for Defendant, establishing the relationship of 19 debtor and creditor. 32. The Contract between the parties is an express agreement which, in connection with 21 the invoices supplied to Defendant, sets forth the amount due from the Defendant to the Plaintiff. 33. Defendant expressly promised to pay the amount due in the Contract. 34. As such, Plaintiff is entitled to recover the amount owed on the account stated, according to proof at trial. FIFTH CAUSE OF ACTION Unjust Enrichment 35. Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates by reference herein all the allegations set forth in Paragraphs 1 through 34, inclusive. 36. Plaintiff performed legal services, valued by the Contract at approximately $44,727.91, in good faith. 37. Defendant sought and accepted the legal services, thus receiving a benefit. Specifically, Plaintiff was able to successfully defend a lawsuit brought against Defendant after 5 performing much more than one-hundred hours of legal work. Most of Plaintiffs arguments were adopted by the jury and the trial court in that case. The few that weren't, were later fully adopted by the appellate court which overturned the erroneous judgment entered by the jury and the trial court against Defendant in that case resulting in a subsequent judgment in favor of Defendant entered by the trial court pursuant to the appellate court's final order. 38. Plaintiff reasonably expected to be compensated for the legal services provided, according to the terms of the Contract. 39. Defendant refused and continues to refuse to compensate Plaintiff for the performance of legal services, according to the terms of the Contract. 40. Thus, Defendant was unjustly enriched, in the amount of approximately $44,727.91, at the expense of Plaintiff. 41. As such, Plaintiff demands judgment against Defendant in the amount of at least $44,727.91, the reasonable value of the services, the precise amount to be determined according to proof at trial. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands judgment against the defendants for the following: AS TO ALL CAUSES OF ACTION: 1. Compensatory damages in an amount according to proof at trial, but at least $44,727.91; 2. For other general damages according to proof at trial; 3. Costs of suit; and 4. Any other and further relief that the Court considers proper. DATED: May 10,2021 LAW OFFICES OF ROGER C. HSU Roger C. Hsu, Esq. Gurgen Sargsyan, Esq. Attorneys for Plaintiff, LAW OFFICES OF ROGER C.
