A musical conversation, and paper fashion
La Santa Cecilia draws inspiration from a hybrid of Latin culture, rock, and world music. On Saturday, February 4, 6:00–9:00 p.m., at the Fowler Museum, Josh Kun, curator of the forthcoming GRAMMY Museum exhibition Trouble in Paradise: Music and Los Angeles, 1945–75, will interview the musical group. La Santa Cecilia will then take audience questions and perform a selection of songs. During a post-concert reception, artist Patssi Valdez will lead a crunch-and-fold workshop inspired by Asco’s 1970s-era public appearances as self-made fashionistas in paper gowns and hats. Dessert will be served, there will be a cash bar, and guests will be able to tour the exhibitions Mapping Another L.A.: The Chicano Art Movement and Icons of the Invisible: Oscar Castillo. Tickets are $10 for Fowler and GRAMMY Museum members and students; general admission is $15. Tickets are on sale at the GRAMMY Museum box office: 213-765-6803. This event is co-presented by the Fowler and GRAMMY museums.
