Altadena Eaton Fire January 7th 2025
On the night of January 7th, a fire that started in Eaton Canyon spread in 100 mph winds to consume most of our beloved town of Altadena. Over 9000 structures were lost including 6000 homes.
Our Founder, Irina Voloshna lost her home in the fire along with the homes of many. many of our loyal supporters, members and patrons. Many Altadena musicians lost their homes and we lost most of our local concert venues – the William D Davies Memorial Building in Farnsworth Park, St Mark’s Church and the Altadena Town and Country Club.
Fundraiser
We have created a fundraiser to offer financial support to those local musicians who face hardship as a result of their losses in the fire. We hope you will be able to give generously.
Musicians of all ages lost musical instruments to the LA fires. Altadena Musicians are doing something about it by pairing needs with resources. Visit www.altadenamusicians.
Creativity meets generosity.
Freeconcertclothing.org is a resource organized by musicians for musicians offering free, pre-loved, gently used concert clothing and accessories. They have a growing collection of concert attire, mostly black, but some colored gowns and other formal wear. The collection is growing daily and they are updating their website to reflect new additions. If you have anything to donate, please contact them online.
World Central Kitchen has been feeding fire victims and emergency personnel in Altadena. They kindly offered to provide a food truck after our concert in February. We thank them for their support.
