https://lastories.eventbrite.comL.A. Stories brings together local poets, writers, composers, and musicians to celebrate the beauty and diversity of Los Angeles. This music and storytelling show from Helix Collective creates vignettes within the city about surviving and thriving in L.A. We all share this city but it looks different from every vantage point.
Helix Collective’s musicians including flutist Sarah Robinson, oboist Phil Popham, pianist Kathryn Eames, and percussionist Tyler Stell narrate and perform this set of musical stories. These include poetry and stories from local authors as well as a collection of letters from the early 20th Century Los Angeles. These are set to music by composers writing original music for the project.
This performance is made possible in part by the City of Culver City and its Cultural Affairs Commission with support from Sony Pictures Entertainment. The event will take place in the Glorya Kaufman Community Center in the Wende Museum.
Free parking is available in the city lots adjacent to the museum.
