We have three more concerts at Steinway Hall, and that's it FOREVER as Fields has closed the store without notice, but has kindly agreed to let us finish the first half of our 08 09 season...basically the Jaz, Feb and Mar concerts. If you have any suggestions for venues with an exquisite Steinway, kindly be in touch.

Fields Pianos IS CLOSED, but STEINWAY Hall is open! The store will NOT BE OPEN, and I will post flyers on their front door., however we are concertising 2 flights down., and it is actually quite a hip venue, very Cabaret.

WE will be a Trio;

Suezenne Fordham with the exquisite Steinway 8'11""D" #326
Charlie Domingo,contrabass
Cassidy Turbin, Drums and winds..

DOWNSTAIRS, 2 Flights down, Parking Structure

Concert is free, but donations accepted to help with the considerable expense of the production. We will be recording, but the equipment is unobtrusive.

There will be a small Tibetan Boutique, featuring various musical Tibetan items, including small meditation Rim Gongs and Singing Bowls for sale.

We are devastated to lose our West Side Venue, but our other Concerts in South Pasadena are very much happening.

CLOSING OF FIELDS PIANOS POSING MAJOR PROBLEMS FOR THE SERIES "SUEZENNE FORDHAM CHAMBER JAZZ LA "New Orbits"

A month or so ago I recieved an urgrnt email from our Musical home of three years, Fields Pianos in est LAhome of my favorite Pisno ths Steinway, esp the Concert Grands, and friends of many NewYork Steinway Artists for may years., They were closing their doors forever, but perhaps would be able to accomodate three more of SFCJLA's Concerts for the 08-09 season. [eight left in all.].. The next concert was a disaster, which was the next night. I turned my cell off for the first half of the concert, and there were only three people in the sudience...granted real music lovers, but I go to great expense to present these concerts free to the public...and when I turned in my cell at intermission there were many messages from poeple who couldn't find Steinway Hall in the Dark[ it is down three flights in the parking structure..... and so people either couldn't find it OR were frightened...

At first I thought I would go ahead with the Janusry 8th concert with my quartet, but have thought better about it and for the first time I am cancelling the remainder of my concerts there. I am very thankful for the friendship and courtesies that Field's Pianos afforded us, but I am faced with finding a new, attractive venue with superb Steinway Concert Grands... It is my understanding their Orange County store will still be open, and will still be home to Steinway there, but that is a very ong way from here..

I thank My Ida, the Steinway Artist's rep, and Sherree, AND the geniuses at the Steinway Factory in Queens NY for their devotion to the creation of these extraordinary concert Instruments and am eternally grateful to have been a part of their Family in West LA.
Sigh, it's tough being a leader.

As my friend Myrna Daniels says, "Hang in there." More later. I have yet to tell my players that I am cancelling the remainder of the Steinway Hall concerts and that our next concert is in South Pasadena on February 15th at the South Pasadena library at 7 30 PM in the Main Concert Hall 1115 El Centro. 818 371 7735

Interesting that Steinway will soon open a smaller store in Beverly Hills, of less than 8,000 Sq. ft. Very chic, very boutique.

SUEZENNE FORDHAM CHAMBER JAZZ LA "NEW ORBITS" Premiere concert huge success!!!

On October 5th, 08 Sunday evening at the Chamber Concert Hall of the South Pasadena Main Library, the Suezrenne Fordham Chamber Concert LA Perfprming Ensemble played their first concert of the 08 09 season to a capacity crowd and enthusiatic audience.

There were full houses for both shows, and the group felt very rewarded for their musical efforts.

"The new series, "New Orbits", is an explorationn of the formalism of Classical Chamber Music, and the improvisational Freeform of Avant Garde Jazz, fusing Fourth Stream Avant garde, and Classical forms into a new Music, enhanced with Tibetan Percussion. Truly the intensity of the Concert Experience with Jazz Passion," Suezenne Fordham, founder, pianist and composer-arranger, performer enthused.

The South Pasadena venue is a very historic venue, very hip, and comfortable...At intermission the audience was invited to get to know the Tibetan instruments hands on. The 08 09 season has a series of fourteen concerts spread evenly between the South Pasaden Venue and Steinway Hall at Field's Pianos in West LA.
