On Tuesday December 9th 2025, Melodia Mariposa was proud to present the second in their Lecture Series on Conductors. Larry Blank, renowned conductor, arranger and orchestrator spoke at the Westerbeck Recital Hall at Pasadena City College about his life in music and what it takes to build a Broadway career.
Mr. Blank was interviewed one stage by Zachary Matthews, the head of the PCC Music Department and Henry Shin, their Director of Orchestras.
We were delighted to present this event in partnership with the Pasadena City College Foundation’s Hometown Heroes series of events celebrating people who have contributed to the amazingly rich culture of the Pasadena and foothills area.
