Adventures in fitness with Sarah Holguin

By Ellen Snortland Pasadena Weekly Columnist

Ihave a fitness crush on Sarah Holguin, my trainer — what a peach! I now actually look forward to working out, and that, my friends, is a miracle. My prior relationship with fitness training was akin to having someone pull out my fingernails, one by one, with electrified pliers. So why now? And why with Sarah?

“I’m concerned about your cholesterol level,” my doctor said.

“What? I’ve always had perfect cholesterol readings!” I said.

“Well, your HDL level and total score are too high now. You need to bring it down.”

That was months ago, and I have finally adopted the food and exercise regimens designed to address my pandemic indulgences. Can you relate?

Yes, I have my vices. I am intimate with at least two of the Seven Deadly Sins: pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth. The vices of gluttony and sloth go hand in hand. I participated in gluttony — overeating, which contributed to sloth or laziness — resulting in an enthusiastic expansion of my ass. My rear end weighs everything down. My bottom threatens to not only hijack my pants but the entire block we live on. And when I got to the point where nothing fit, I knew it was time to address vices six and seven.

Enter Sarah Holguin. Actually, we entered her space: The WellRock on Lake Avenue in Altadena. I’d driven by The WellRock for months and wondered if it was a crystal and mineral place for healing. I finally found thewellrock.com and discovered that it’s a gym: our very own local brick-and-mortar, ma-and-pa gym! The locale was an enormous motivator because my sloth won’t allow me to attend a gym that’s more than 3 minutes from my house. The WellRock is 2.5 minutes away, or 15 minutes if I walk there.

My husband, Ken, and I met Sarah, and we immediately liked her. She is extraordinarily fit, has a great sense of humor, and doesn’t make us feel inferior for being so out of shape. I’ve been around trainers who, even though they profess to take me as I am, are dripping with self-righteousness for the condition they are in. Ooh, I so want to smack those showoffs. I digress.

Sarah wasn’t always a fitness freak. She “converted” to fitness organically. She initially had her now-husband as a trainer. They became friends and then a married couple. Sarah had enough of corporate America and yearned to do meaningful work. Voilá! They created their own gym, which is as distinctive as they are.

Sarah has a unique yet familiar story. She is the daughter of immigrants. Her parents met at a refugee camp in Thailand, having fled the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. Both of Sarah’s grandfathers were murdered by that brutal regime.

Sarah’s family is what actually makes America great, as we are a country of immigrants. I’m sorry, but I don’t have any tolerance for xenophobia. It’s a cliché and still true: Unless you belong to one of the 500-plus Indigenous nations across the U.S. portion of North America, you are an immigrant. I imagine if you’ve read this far, you’re well aware of that. And even the Indigenous people of the U.S. were migrants at some point in ancient history, walking across the land bridge from Asia to North America.

Sarah grew up translating and interpreting for her parents. That’s also an old story and very American. Immigrants — just like my forebears — often settle in communities that already have their language group living there. My Norwegian foremothers and fathers went to North Dakota because they could speak to people who spoke their tongue.

This is true whether one is going to a rural or urban area. The Upper Plains states are lousy with islands of nationality groups, primarily Northern European, with an occasional smattering of “oddball” refugees. For instance, James Abourezk, a popular senator from South Dakota, was the son of a Lebanese couple who migrated to start a store at one of the reservations in South Dakota. Jewish families would occasionally migrate

to places without a Jewish community, drawn by opportunity.

Sarah’s parents went to San Bernardino County to join a thriving Cambodian community. Sarah told me, “Next time you’re in a doughnut shop anywhere in LA County, it’s likely owned and run by Cambodians.” One of her first jobs was in a doughnut shop. Me? I haven’t had a doughnut for decades — OK, years… OK, months — but now Sarah will assist me in disappearing my midriff doughnut. She’s still involved with doughnuts, just the deleting of them rather than the selling of them.

We’ll undoubtedly see Ukrainian and Russian refugees soon. Open your arms, because it’s a good bet they will be some of the best citizens we could ever hope for. Sarah is from one such family and a prime example of the immigration part of the American dream. Cambodian, Norwegian, Ukrainian, Nigerian… nationality is now practically irrelevant. Welcoming them is a good exercise in building a great nation.

University Club of Pasadena celebrates centennial

By Andrew Crowley Pasadena Weekly Contributing Writer

The University Club of Pasadena is celebrating the centennial of its founding with a members-only celebration on Saturday, April 23.

University Club Membership & Communications Director Katelyn Barchowsky said that planning for the 100th anniversary celebration had been in the works for several years.

“And when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, we were wondering if it would even be possible to have it, but we kept moving forward in the hopes that we would be able to,” Barchowsky said. “And fortunately, the pandemic has improved to the point where we’re able to hold this event safely, and we’re so excited to be able to celebrate together as group in person, especially after the last few years.

Barchowsky said when University Club was founded, similar organizations were already in existence across the world.

“Our founder, Howard W. Carter, thought there ought to be enough university-educated men in Pasadena to start their own club,” Barchowsky said.

At the time of its founding, the University Club of Pasadena was for men only, but women are now eligible for membership.

In the early days of the club, they met at Hotel Green until they outgrew the space they were renting. In 1926, the club moved into the building that has been its home ever since.

Barchowsky said members join the club because they are community minded, wish to network, and enjoy the social aspect of the club.

“It’s really a place where you can meet others you wouldn’t have crossed paths with otherwise,” Barchowsky said. “I think that’s one of our strengths and something our members take pride in: the camaraderie of the club.”

Members are at the club often, dining with each other and bringing guests and family. Breakfast and lunch are offered Monday through Friday and dinner and drinks is available Thursday and Saturday. Once a month there is a Sunday brunch that is open to members of the public.

There are other special events such art and business nights. Barchowsky cited a recent example of the former where members had dinner at the club and then attended a performance of “Ann” at Pasadena Playhouse. The club hosts speaker series and mixers that are open to members of the public.

Members of the club are usually professionals residing in the San Gabriel Valley.

“We really look for members who want to be part of the community and are working to make the community a better place,” Barchowsky said.

Through its history, the club has had its share of notable members and visitors, including scientists Albert Einstein, Edwin Hubble and George Ellery Hale, architect Myron Hunt, and artists Alson Skinner Clark and Ernest Batchelder.

Saturday’s celebration will take place in the evening and include a cocktail hour, dinner and program afterward that will honor the club’s past and its future. In addition, there will be a threepart video series produced with assistance of Pasadena Media. Barchowsky said that following the celebration, the videos would be made public and posted online.

“The big part of celebrating the future is supporting future students and scholars in our community,” Barchowsky said, “The club was founded on the principles of education and the importance of higher education. So, in 2019 we launched the University Club of Pasadena Education Foundation.”

The Education Foundation provides scholarships to local students interested in furthering their education and is administered with the assistance of the Pasadena Community Foundation.

“Our centennial is not only meant to acknowledge the significant role the University Club has played in the history of Pasadena but as a celebration of the club’s continued investment in the educational, business and cultural aspects of our community,” said Brian Beck, the immediate past president of the University Club. “The club’s membership represents a diverse and important group of current and emerging leaders from the Pasadena area, with the club providing a common connecting point and wonderful venue for the sharing of ideas, conducting business and fellowship. With 50 new members joining our club over the past year and our Education Foundation continuing to grow, the university club has a very bright future ahead.”

Flintridge Center’s Apprenticeship Preparation Program helps the formerly incarcerated and other individuals impacted by the criminal justice system.

Flintridge Center’s apprenticeship program provides path out of poverty

By Andrew Crowley Pasadena Weekly Contributing Writer

Flintridge Center’s Apprenticeship Preparation Program graduated its 40th cohort earlier this month, a major moment for the program.

Founded in 2007, the program helps the formerly incarcerated and other individuals impacted by the criminal justice system with escaping the cycle of poverty and avoiding reincarceration by training and preparing them for careers in union-construction trades.

The program is in partnership with Los Angeles/Orange Counties Building and Construction Trades Council and predates Ban The Box, which legally prohibits employers with five or more employees for asking job candidates about their conviction history before extending an offer.

Currently, there are 4,800 laws on the books that place restrictions on the lives of formerly incarcerated Californians.

Graduates of the program have an employment rate of 70% and a reincarceration rate of 10% compared to a reincarceration rate of 47% for Los Angeles County.

Over the course of 10 weeks, students learn everything they need to secure gainful employment, get prepared for the physical rigor and demands of the job, and take classes on construction math.

This most recent cohort is notable for half of the graduating students being women, an underrepresented group in construction. These students are now ready to get union jobs, which do not discriminate based on background, pay a living wage, have full benefits, and provide an opportunity for advancement for students.

Andy Alvarez is not only an instructor but also a graduate of the program. After being released from incarceration, Alvarez went to the Department of Public Social Services for help and spotted a flier for the program. Alvarez said the flier asked the viewer if they wanted to be making $60,000 to $80,000 a year. It also noted that program was for the formerly incarcerated.

“If it’s for formerly incarcerated folks, then I shouldn’t have to worry about my background too much,” Alvarez said

Alvarez did not have experience in construction, but knew of the good reputation of those jobs, so he checked it out. He liked what he saw and applied for the program, where he studied to become a member of the carpenters union. He wanted to work with his hands and learn a skill and a trade.

He graduated from the program in 2015 and began working with the carpenters union. During that time, he was still in contact with the Flintridge Center and came back for services and programs such as one about getting one’s record expunged. He chatted with one of the employees of program about how things were going and if Alvarez had ever done case management services. Alvarez told him that he had some experience with it.

“He offered me a position, because I was going to school at the same time, I stopped working at the carpenters union, kept going to school and took the position here,”

Flintridge Center/Submitted

The Apprenticeship Preparation Program graduated its 40th cohort earlier this month.

Alvarez said.

He earned his bachelor’s in sociology and is working toward a master’s degree in Latin American studies.

“It was a very hard decision: ‘Do I want to do the union, or do I want to continue with school?’ Because they’re both great opportunities,” Alvarez said.

Teaching is something that came naturally to Alvarez, which he attributes to his experience with school and the program.

“I try to approach it like a college environment, so I try to approach the students in that way,” Alvarez said.

His favorite things about teaching students are seeing them retain what they have learned and applying it and seeing them grow, develop and find success in their new career.

“And they mention that they just had another baby, that they bought another car, that they rented an apartment or that they moved out of their parents’ place. That’s the stuff that really motivates me,” Alvarez said. “We’re doing something for these people and making changes in their lives.”

One of those students is Frank Gonzalez, who graduated from the program in October 2020. After he got out of prison, he started working odd jobs.

“I would work, and I would stay one pay rate. It really wasn’t benefiting me in the future, so I called a friend. He called a friend that finished the program, and he told me about the program and I pursued it,” Gonzalez said. “I ended up getting into the program.”

He was excited about the program but was not sure what to expect from it. He

praised his classmates as well as the instructors and staff. Alvarez was an instructor who meant a great deal to Gonzalez.

“He’s the one that’s helped me the most. He’s the one that I kept in contact with the most. I saw him the other day. He helps me out. He’s always been there for me, and it’s almost been two years,” Gonzalez said.

Initially, Gonzalez wanted to be a mason but ended up pursuing carpentry.

“You’ve got to take your time on choosing a trade, because you can’t get into a trade because you want to get to work right away,” Gonzalez said. “You’ve got to do a trade you want to do.”

Currently, Gonzalez works in carpentry as a drywall framer. He hopes to work his way up to finished carpentry, such as parquet floors, wooden panels on walls, and similar. He said that type of carpentry will take less of a toll on his body.

Gonzalez described the program as life changing and encourages anyone eligible for the program to check it out.

His instructor said that the program is valuable for what it means for the lives of students going forward.

“They’re learning a trade, a skill that no one can take away from them, and whether they’re in the union, nonunion, construction, anywhere else, they’ll be able to take that trade with them,” Alvarez said.

Esteven Valverde is a member of the 40th cohort and completed a rigorous math program to prepare to apply for membership in the electrician’s union.

“I’m not trying to settle,” Valverde said. “I’m trying to be the best I can be for myself and my family.”

Dodgers celebrate 75th anniversary of Robinson breaking the color barrier

By Andrew Crowley Pasadena Weekly Contributing Writer

April 15 marked 75 years since Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in baseball. On Jackie Robinson Day, every MLB team honors his life and legacy; and the Los Angeles Dodgers, the team he made history with when they were still based in Brooklyn, marked the occasion with several events, three on April 15 and one on April 16.

The Los Angeles Dodgers and the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation kicked off the celebration in Pasadena, where Robinson grew up. Joining them for the events were Dodgers players, members of Robinson’s family — his wife Rachel, son David and granddaughter Ayo — and other dignitaries. Joining them at the day’s first stop, Longfellow Elementary, were Players Alliance founders Curtis Granderson and Edwin Jackson.

Dodgers pitcher David Price spoke about the meaning of Jackie Robinson day to him.

“April 15 has been a very special day for me for a very long time,” Price said.

“I remember being in elementary and middle school and having to write essays and being able to pick the topic you wanted to write on. It was always, always about Jackie Robinson. He was a player who I loved as a kid. Growing up, I wanted to learn more about the history of baseball, and being able to pick that topic, pick Jackie Robinson, was always very special to me.”

Jackie Robinson Day is one that he doesn’t treat like a typical game day. Last year was the first time he played on Jackie Robinson Day, and he earned his first career save.

“But on April 15, whenever I walk into that clubhouse, when I see my jersey hanging up with that 42 on the back, that’s a day that I’m always in full uniform in that dugout, no hoodie on. I want to wear that 42 as proudly as I can,” Price said. “That’s something I’ve done since my first year in the leagues.

Price, David Robinson, Granderson, Jackson and two Longfellow students took turns reading “I Am Jackie Robinson,” the book all 575 students at the school would receive as part of a kickoff of the Jackie Robinson LA Reads series.

The next event of the day took place at John Muir High School, where Jackie Robinson attended and played baseball. Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts was on hand for the unveiling of the mural created by artist Jonas Never.

Betts said that as Dodger, Jackie Robinson Day means “a little more here.”

“This is his home, and it’s fun to see bits and pieces of him all through LA,” Betts said. “

It wasn’t just baseball. I think for 75 years, he has just affected people’s lives. It just runs

so much deeper than that, and it just shows you that what he did and what his family is continuing to do and what we are continuing to do for him in his name. It’s something super positive and something that everyone sees his greatness.”

The final event of Friday was a team talk at the statue of Jackie Robinson at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers team was present to hear David Robinson speak prior to their game against the Cincinnati Reds later that evening.

The next morning was the unveiling of Dodgers Dreamfields Phase 2 at Gonzales Park. Updates to the park include solar arrays, EV car ports and field upgrades, as well as completion of Kershaw’s Challenge Fitness and Training Zone, which includes an outdoor training area, batting cages, bullpens, infield practice area and outside exercise equipment.

Kershaw and his family were present for the brief ceremony that took place before Centennial and King Drew Magnet high schools played in a game celebrating the 75th anniversary of the breaking of the color barrier.

Kershaw gave some brief remarks before throwing out the game’s ceremonial first pitch. Due to MLB protocols, Kershaw was not permitted to be in attendance of Phase 1 unveiling, which occurred on April 15, 2021.

“Man, what a day. How cool is this place?” Kershaw said.

“This is so great. This looks so good. I cannot believe how it all turned out. To everybody here, thank you so much for letting my family be a part of it.”

The three-time Cy Young winner also addressed the relatives of Dodgers Dreamteam participants in the stands. Along with the baseball game, the Dreateamers took part in a STEM Field Day that would apply math and science to baseball, something a part of the LADF’s Science of Baseball curriculum.

“To the parents and families in the stands, thank you for being a part of this,” Kershaw said.

“For the kiddos, this is for y’all. Everybody here, everybody that is behind you, everybody that’s in front of you, everybody that’s in the stands, we’re all here for you. We want you all to have the opportunity to play this great game.

“But more than that, we want you to have fun playing this great game, and we want you to have memories when you play this game. We want you to have fun with your friends and encourage your teammates and be great, great kiddos on the baseball field.”

The Dodgers recently held three events in honor of Jackie Robinson.

Sunday, May 1, in hopes of raising money for a

Altadena Home & Garden Tour returns for 2022

By Luke Netzley Pasadena Weekly Deputy Editor

At the foothills of the looming San Gabriel Mountains lies the eclectic community of Altadena, home to palm-laden streets and dotted with historic homes.

After a two-year hiatus, the Altadena Guild of Huntington Memorial Hospital’s Home & Garden Tour will return Sunday, May 1, for the 69th time with hopes to fulfill its $100,000 commitment to Huntington Hospital’s new cardiac care center by giving guests a tour of the community’s architectural marvels.

“Normally our home tours draw a thousand or more people,” guild member Elaine Bauer says. “We’re completely convinced that we will reach that, if not many more, and we are hoping to do that because the programs that we support are so valuable to the community around us and far-reaching, too, with HMRI and all of the discoveries that they’ve made over the years that have helped people.”

The Altadena Guild was founded in 1951 to support the work of Huntington Memorial Hospital and has since raised several million dollars to benefit the hospital and Huntington Medical Research Institutes.

The guild has also underwritten hospital employee scholarships and supported the Constance G. Zahorik Appearance Center to benefit cancer patients.

To help support its mission, the home and garden tour invites guests to an idyllic stretch of Mendocino Lane to explore four homes and gardens in the neighborhood.

“It’s an iconic street that gives you a peaceful feeling to walk along,” Bauer says. “We have four beautiful homes and gardens on tour. Each home is stunning in and of itself, and they’re all completely different styles, so it’s going to be a wonderful tour for guests to investigate these different designs.”

The tour will feature a house designed by architect Richard Bates known to Bauer as the “palm tree house,” home to a subtropical botanic garden with 140 species of palm.

Another home is an Italianate villa with a garden space that features a pool and Venetian bronze fountain alongside the rear courtyard.

The tour will also pass a single-story modern home and garden, complete with a guest house ADU, and the fourth home, which is a classic, Spanish-style two-story house.

“As you walk along, you are greeted by soldiers of palm trees lining the street, and as you walk Northeast, you’re looking at the mountains,” Bauer says. “It’s just beautiful. It’s an open area, and the street will be full of community tables, people wandering and lots of music, too.”

In addition to the home and garden tour, there will be numerous vendors and community tables showcasing local businesses and sponsors from in and around Altadena, designated areas where both Porsche and Cal-Rods will have their cars on display, food, and entertainment including live music and tango dance performances.

Guests will also receive a program with detailed write-ups for each home along with maps and advertising for the businesses and entities supporting the guild and its work, particularly toward Huntington Hospital and HMRI.

“Huntington Hospital has invested a great deal of money into the health and welfare of the community surrounding us, and that’s why we’ve decided to give that hundred-thousand-dollar commitment to the cardiac care center,” Bauer says. “HMRI has also invited students and researchers to come into their fabulous facility on Fair Oaks across from the hospital to work on all of these really difficult medical issues that we are faced with these days and to uncover solutions for improving quality of life for all of us.”

MONA’s new “Brain Without Organs” exhibition explores the ways in which the brain can be sculpted by both biological and cultural influences.

AWarren Neidich, the visionary behind “Brain Without Organs,” has combined neurological and aesthetic approaches to further understand humanity’s evolving relationship with information technologies.

MONA presents Warren Neidich’s ‘Brain Without Organs’

By Luke Netzley Pasadena Weekly Deputy Editor

s one of the oldest artist-led and -founded museums in the country, Glendale’s Museum of Neon Art has stood as an eclectic and kinetic destination for light-based artworks and historic signage since 1981.

On April 16, the museum hosted the world premiere of Warren Neidich’s “The Brain Without Organs: An Aporia of Care,” investigating the way the human brain acts as both a biologically and socially constructed organ.

“Warren has been working with neon for several years, but his attitude towards it is highly conceptual and brings together a lot of questions about where we are today as a society and how culture is rewiring the brain,” MONA Executive Director Corrie Siegel said. “I think it’s an interesting way of pondering some really big ideas and bringing people into this immersive environment where you’ll be surrounded by this exploded brain and can think about yourself but also feel these conceptual questions.”

In 1996, Neidich co-founded Artbrain.org and “Journal of Neuroaesthetics” and trained as a scientist with Roger Sperry at Caltech before attending medical school. During his studies, Neidich took an intense interest in both photography and neuroscience.

As an artist for more than 35 years, Neidich has looked to combine his background in neuroscience with a distinct creative flair to explore and question the evolving networks of control, surveillance and information prevalent around the world today and how they are redefining and reshaping systems of the brain.

“The reason I’m working with MONA is that in the last five years neon has become the material of my artwork,” Neidich explained.

The exhibition will run until Sept. 25 and will feature two large neon installations as well as a series of blacklight-activated paintings by Neidich himself using light and immersive installations to consider philosophical and conceptual questions around information, capitalism and the evolution of the brain.

“The core message is that the brain is a malleable and changeable entity, what I call the becoming brain,” Neidich said. “It’s not something that’s crystallized and deterministic. It’s something that’s open and that gives a tremendous amount of power to the human being.”

The hanging sculpture “Brain Without Organs” is composed of constellations of levitating branches glowing in white neon tubing. These marks represent the grooves and folds on the outer layer of the brain that serve as mapping devices for scientists to delineate areas of the organ. Rather than forming an anatomically accurate image of the brain, the fissures create an amorphous form which is reflected and distorted by its surroundings.

“‘The Brain Without Organs’ means that the brain is not organized in a set pattern but that it’s capable of change,” Neidich said. “This piece is really about how we can make a brain that understands our ecosystem, relishes it and respects it, that doesn’t want to consume it and use it for our own devices. This is the first piece in which I’ve been experimenting with those ideas.”

The second neon installation is called “Einstein’s Brain” and stands as a wall-mounted sculpture of branching white and red neon shapes that represent the folds in a section of Einstein’s cerebral cortex.

One aspect in the story of Einstein’s brain that piqued Neidich’s interest was the fact that his brain was once stolen from the pathology laboratory at Princeton during autopsy and carried on a journey to Lawrence, Kansas, where it was stored in a basement.

“Warren takes this idea of Einstein’s brain and uses it as a material for his art making, so it’s an

abstracted image of the brain, and in abstracting this image of the folds, which are usually dark, he uses neon and makes them bright and expands the space of this map of the brain,” Siegel said. “It’s very abstracted and speaks to all the questions and considerations of when you map anything, because the map itself can be both a tool for discovery and study.”

Before it was stolen, there were photographs taken of Einstein’s brain and it had been examined to reveal what most experts believe are anomalies in his cerebral cortex that distinguish it from typical human brains. In the exhibition, these unique folds are delineated by red neon tubing.

By highlighting the neurodivergence of one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century, Neidich’s installation raises the suggestion that neurodiversity is a generator of possibility, rather than limitations.

“Mapping the brain through abstraction can be a liberatory tool, a way of seeing these pieces of flesh that control our bodies as these things that are actually quite expansive, mysterious and ever-changing,” Siegel said. “What Warren puts forth in a lot of his work is that, with the expansion of digital technology and the way that we’re changing our thinking according to algorithms and Instagram, there’s the path of ability to seeing a way out or seeing new possibilities through art and through abstraction.”

Further into the exhibition, there’s a small room filled with black light and paintings that illustrate the brain both anatomically and abstractly. The folds of the brain branch into emojis, text and symbolism mean to reflect the social and political nature of a world where material labor has been replaced by immaterial labor. The fluorescent marks are reminiscent of diagrams, psychedelic paintings and text threads.

“The ‘becoming brain’ is insinuated in an ecosystem of relations,” Neidich explained. “We have to change our idea of the brain to understand it in its ecological sense, its deep ecology.”

A central theme to Neidich’s exhibition is the idea that the ecosystem that surrounds a human being impacts the architecture of their brain, including the technology that people use. He argues that there must be new technologies that seek to understand the relationship between the sculpture of the brain and the environment that surrounds it.

“It’s been an exciting way of looking at our gallery, transforming it and seeing new possibilities,” Siegel said. “That’s been a really fun aspect of working with Warren, because he brings a totally different perspective to our space.”

Visitors to the Museum of Neon Art will be able to view “Brain Without Organs” as well as MONA’s rotating permanent collection of signage and fine art, the Electric Lab where MONA teaches classes and restores signs, as well as the newly opened outdoor exhibition space, the Sign Garden. Groups of 10 or more can request a docent at least two weeks prior to the day of the visit.

Music Center recognizes talent of 4 Pasadena students

By Bridgette M. Redman Pasadena Weekly Contributing Writer

Pasadena is home to four young vocalists who are ready to take the music world by storm.

They were honored by The Music Center in its 34th Spotlight Competition. It recognizes the top high school performers throughout Southern California with 100 semifinalists going into the final round.

Students Tiffany Hsu, Lily Keating, Ryan Liddy and Caroline Patterson made it to the semifinal rounds in the categories of nonclassical voice and classical voice. They all participated in a master class with top artists in their category and are now competing for scholarships in the finalist rounds.

Tiffany Hsu

Hsu was 6 years old when she discovered her future occupation.

Her family took a trip to Beijing and saw a Chinese opera.

“I was seeing the face masks that they traditionally use for these shows,” Hsu said. “The whole time I was really amused and amazed by how beautiful the art was. Everyone else was bored except for me.”

Two years later, she found a teacher in Los Angeles to introduce her to Chinese opera, and at age 10, she added classical opera to her repertoire.

A 14-year-old student at Mayfield Senior School of the Holy Child Jesus, the ninth grader studies at the Pasadena Conservatory of Music under Marine Ter-Kazaryan. She’s sung at Carnegie Hall, won three platinum awards in the 2020 American Protégé competition, and took gold for the 2021 World Championships of Performing Arts.

While she’s competed nationally, she has high praise for the Spotlight Competition and the opportunities and development it has offered.

“It’s a process of learning, not really competing,” Hsu said. “I’ve been at the Music Center for many shows, and I thought that Spotlight would be very professional. It really is — especially the master class. That really opened my eyes.”

Her master class had 12 semifinalists, and she said the teacher gave them fun warmups and encouraged them to learn from each other, instead of seeing them as competition.

“We should be kind to everyone and listen to different voices and feel their emotions,” Hsu said. “We should include diversity in what we do and in our pieces that we chose. I was much more informed about how I could improve and felt very motivated.”

Lily Keating

A senior at Pasadena’s Polytechnic School, Keating has performed multiple times with the LA Opera as a member of the Los Angeles Children’s Chorus.

Also a student of Ter-Kazaryan, she performed in Leonard Bernstein’s “Mass,” conducted by Gustavo Dudamel; “Hansel and Gretel” with the LA Opera; and “Happier than Ever: Goldwing” with Billie Eilish, Dudamel and the LA Philharmonic.

She grew up singing classical music and is focusing on learning arias and doing solo performances.

“I really like diving into the pieces and imagining situations that are similar to what the song is trying to convey,” Keating said. “If there is a sad song, I think of a sad memory or experience I’ve had and try to make the piece as personal as possible. I find joy in being able to connect with the actual composer of the piece 100 years after they’ve written it.”

Keating, 18, is a semifinalist in the classical voice category. Her interest in the Spotlight program was sparked who won for harp during her freshman year. She hadn’t competed previously, but when COVID-19 came along, she thought Spotlight would allow her to show off her artistic talents.

She auditioned last year and didn’t make it, but she said everyone was so nice, comforting and encouraging that she tried again.

“Being able to have this experience in this music competition world is very exciting,” Keating said. “It’s just an amazing experience to have.”

She is still deciding what she is going to do as a career, but she knows that she wants music to be in her life.

She knows many of her peers have competed before, but she still decided to enter.

“Don’t be scared to put yourself out there, even if you don’t have much experience,” Keating said. “It doesn’t hurt to try and start.”

Ryan Liddy

Liddy started playing jazz piano when he was 4, and he’s been making music since then.

Caroline Patterson

Lily Keating

He performed in the elementary school choir, as well as musicals at Loyola High School of Los Angeles and at Theater 360 in Pasadena.

An LA Children’s Choir member, he has spent seven years performing in such works as the LA Opera’s productions of “Carmen” and “Tosca,” and with the LA Philharmonic in “Carmina Burana,” “Missa Solemnis” and “A Trip to the Moon.”

Also a student of Ter-Kazaryan, he is competing as a baritone in the classical music category. He credits Ter-Kazaryan with exposing him to classical voice and opera.

He was surprised when he found out he knows six semifinalists. His best friend since kindergarten went to a different high school, and they haven’t seen much of each other but both were in the same master class. Others he recognized from the LA Children’s Choir or as fellow students of Ter-Kazaryan.

Now a junior, he’s enjoyed performing in musicals. He’s currently cast as the lion in his high school’s production of “The Wizard of Oz.” He was also the crab in the pre-Broadway production of “Moana Jr.” Years ago, he was the younger brother in “Bye Bye Birdie,” and he would love to someday play Conrad Birdie.

He also loves the challenge that comes from singing opera.

“Opera is just different from any other type of music,” Liddy said.

“The amount of endurance and work and thinking that it takes is not comparable to any other type of singing or instrument playing. You’re constantly thinking about not just proper pronunciation of lyrics and being artistic with the music but your technique and support and resonance. There are a lot of things going on at once. That is what I like about it. It becomes muscle memory, and you can hone those specific skills.”

He said he had a great time in the master class, which was led by the mezzo-soprano Suzzana Guzmán, an opera singer well known for her role as Carmen.

“It was really amazing,” Liddy said. “It helped my technique a lot. It helped with how to present yourself in an audition, how to speak to the judges, how to take the right amount of time and introduce yourself correctly. It was also nice to meet the other semifinalists and just have so much talent in that one room was pretty amazing.”

Caroline Patterson

Patterson’s theatrical role model is her older brother, who alerted her about opportunities.

“I kind of grew up around it,” Patterson said. “My brother did a lot of musical theater and went to college for it as well. I can’t remember a time I wasn’t seeing shows he was in or with my family. It seemed natural when I was 7 or 8 to start doing children’s theater in Pasadena.”

Now a 17-year-old senior at Polytechnic High School in Pasadena, she is planning to major in music at the University of Michigan next fall.

This is her fourth time competing in the Spotlight program, and she is a finalist in nonclassical voice. Music has been a priority early on.

“From the second I started doing it, it was my highest priority,” Patterson said. “I kind of realized that was where I fit the best and it was the community I found in theater that I hadn’t really found in other places.”

Her audition pieces for Spotlight were Stephen Sondheim’s “Move On” from “Sunday in the Park with George” and “I Found a New Baby” from “Bullets Over Broadway.”

Her brother was also a semifinalist in the program years ago, and she remembers when she was 8 or 9 observing the master class and watching him perform.

“All the semifinalists seemed so individually passionate,” Patterson said. “Everyone was so eager to improve and so supportive, which when you hear the word competition isn’t necessarily something that comes to mind. It’s just such a healthy environment.”

One of Patterson’s favorite parts as been the titular role in “The Drowsy Chaperone,” something she said she likes because of the jazzy classical musical theater style. She’s also performed such roles as Judy in “Ruthless,” Winnifred in “Once Upon a Mattress,” Dolores in “Working: The Musical,” Chava in “Fiddler on the Roof,” and Pamela in “Head Over Heels.”

She performed the role of Chaperone while she was at Michigan’s Interlochen music camp. The camp and her voice teacher were inspiring.

Patterson had reservations about the master class because she knew Zoom can be a tough when singing, but the teacher made everyone feel comfortable.

“I had an unexpected emotional reaction to the whole situation,” Patterson said. “He gave me a note to be more specific about who I was talking to. He gave me a scenario that really resonated with me — I had a good cry.”

Next steps

The Spotlight program is committed to providing not just money for the winners but a supportive environment.

“Despite the limitations we all faced during the pandemic, The Music Center’s Spotlight persevered,” said Jeri Gaile, the Fredric Roberts director of the Spotlight program.

“We were fortunate to be able to continue the program as a completely free competition and the results are simply spectacular, with so many young people from all across the Southland applying and inspiring us with their enthusiasm, talent and passion for the arts. While Spotlight is very much a competition, we also focus on developing each student’s artistic skills and nurturing their growth.

“Our goal is to support each applicant in every way possible, be that providing detailed

notes from a judge on how to better their performance or showing them alternative careers in the arts beyond the stage.”

In each master class, leading artists in the field provide feedback to students on their performances. Semifinalists then audition again before a new panel of judges, who select the top two finalists in each category for a total of 14 grand prize finalists. There will also be an honorable mention in each category.

The finalists will perform at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 15, at the Music Center. Semifinalists each receive $300, and finalists receive $5,000 scholarships, with honorable mention winners earning $1,000.
