BLACK HISTORY MONTH CELEBRATION CONTINUES WITH A SPECIAL MUSICAL PERFORMANCE ON THURSDAY, FEB. 19 AT PSC
Black History Month at the Pasadena Senior Center continues with a special musical performance by two members of the acclaimed ‘DC6 Singers Collective,’ part of the Cultural Thursdays event series on site at the Pasadena Senior Center on Saturday, Feb.19 at 2 p.m.
Marlaina Owens and Ronnie Ohannon of the DC6 Singers Collective, a group of dynamic vocalists, will be performing a diverse selection of music composed by and made famous through the contributions of Black artists at the celebratory event.
The event is free for Pasadena Senior Center members and only $5 for nonmembers. Reservations are suggested. To register or for more information, visit pasadenaseniorcenter.org, then click on Lectures & Classes, then Cultural Thursdays.
What’s in a name? For the DC6 Singers Collective, it’s more than just an identity, it’s a story in itself. Born out of their debut performance in Washington D.C. at a prestigious State Department dinner, the name stuck, and the group now loves the fun irony of explaining how a Los Angeles-based ensemble came to be called “DC6.”
With roots in A Cappella, Gospel, Doo Wop, and R&B, the DC6 Singers bring an exhilarating mix of passion, energy, and charisma to the stage. But what truly sets them apart is their deep connection to the vibrant, eclectic Los Angeles music scene, where they frequently join forces with long-time collaborators like MUSE/IQUE and partner with local arts organizations, amplifying the city’s rich cultural tapestry.
The Pasadena Senior Center’s mission is to improve the lives of older adults through caring service with opportunities for social interaction, fitness programs, basic support and needs services, education, volunteerism and community activism. With 10,000 Americans per day becoming older adults, the center is a leader in addressing issues of aging and provides innovative, cutting-edge, nationally recognized programs for this population group.
As a donor-supported nonprofit, the center operates without any local, state or federal funding and provides more services to older adults than any other organization in the San Gabriel Valley. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon. To learn more visit www.pasadenaseniorcenter.org or call 626-795-4331.
