On Tuesday, May 5 at 12:30 p.m., the Tuesday Musicale of Pasadena returns to its first-Tuesday recital tradition with a free chamber program featuring members at the First Church of Christ, Scientist on South Oakland Avenue.<\/p>\n<p>The program is unusually wide-ranging. It opens with Scott Joplin\u2019s \u201cThe Strenuous Life\u201d and \u201cThe Easy Winners,\u201d then moves through Franz von Vecsey\u2019s \u201cValse Triste,\u201d Igor Frolov\u2019s \u201cDansa Latina\u201d and Alfred Schnittke\u2019s \u201cPolka.\u201d A vocal segment includes \u201cUn moto di gioia\u201d from Mozart\u2019s \u201cLe nozze di Figaro\u201d and Giovanni Paisiello\u2019s \u201cIl mio ben quando verr\u00e0,\u201d followed by Bizet\u2019s \u201cOuvre ton coeur.\u201d The recital closes with Mendelssohn\u2019s \u201cRondo Capriccioso, Op. 14.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday Musicale was founded to promote the knowledge, performance and enjoyment of music by its members and to encourage interest in music throughout the Pasadena community. The organization\u2019s regular venue, the Pasadena Central Library, remains closed for seismic retrofitting, and its concerts have moved to First Church for the remainder of the season. Tuesday Musicale notes its gratitude to the church for that support, particularly in the wake of the Eaton Fire.<\/p>\n<p>The Sunday School Room, where the recitals are held, is reached from the rear parking lot, and disabled parking is available there. Concerts continue once a month, with the season\u2019s finale scheduled for Tuesday, June 2.<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday Musicale of Pasadena will run on Tuesday, May 5 at 12:30 p.m. First Church of Christ, Scientist, 80 S. Oakland Ave., Pasadena.
