Deets: Thirty years ago, a group of gifted young pianists with a bent towards new music, gathered together to lick stamps. Led by the late pianist, scholar and Schoenberg associate Leonard Stein, they sat at his dining table affixing these stamps to pre-internet postcards to announce their brand-new concert series called Piano Spheres. They hoped it might last a whole season. Music patron Betty Freeman wrote the $2,500 check that was their budget for the entire year. Now, 30 years and a few generations later, these pianists - Gloria Cheng, Vicki Ray, Mark Robson, and the late Susan Svrček have become brilliant lights in the firmament of contemporary concert music in Los Angeles and are bringing the next generation of young pianists along with them. 

To celebrate this landmark 30th anniversary season, Piano Spheres presents ‘30 for 30,’ a special initiative that will commission 30 composers to write new works for the piano, to be performed by Piano Spheres’ Core Artists: Nic Gerpe, Aron Kallay, Thomas Kotcheff and Vicki Ray, Emeritus Artist Mark Robson, Stein Resident Artist Andrés Jaramillo, and Emerging Artist Thomas Mellan. All ‘30 for 30’ composers were chosen by the performers and represent an impressive sampling of local, national and international talent including Thomas Meadowcroft, Donald Crockett, Paul Beaudoin, Paul Morovec, Veronika Krausas, William Alves, Thomas Flaherty and 23 others. Guest Artist Stephen Drury will present a solo recital featuring the complete piano sonatas of Charles Ives on the 150th anniversary of his birth. Also performing will be Emerita Artist Gloria Cheng with guest pianist Ralph van Raat in a program celebrating the 100th birthday of Pierre Boulez in association with CAP UCLA.

Piano Spheres dedicates its 2024/25 season to beloved core artist Sarah Gibson and will honor her memory with a special concert on July 14th, the anniversary of her tragic passing. Gibson’s duo HOCKET with pianist Thomas Kotcheff remains on sabbatical.

Cinespia DJs will spin onsite sets before and after each screening, setting the vibe alongside the iconic free photo booth featuring dreamy scenes inspired by your favorite films. The beer and wine bar and concession stands will also be available for guests to enjoy during their experience.

Saturday, June 7th - Once Upon a Time in Hollywood at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

It’s helter skelter with a side of swelter! Quentin Tarantino rewrote history in this scorching, swag-soaked stroll through 1969 Los Angeles. A washed-up actor, his ultra-cool stuntman buddy, and the ever-bubbly Sharon Tate orbit each other in a sunny pastiche of Hollywood dreams and delusions. Everything’s groovy—until the Manson family rolls up and things get, uh… historically inaccurate. It’s a who’s who of superstars, with Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Margot Robbie, Margaret Qualley, Sydney Sweeney, and Austin Butler before his pelvis turned to Elvis.

Saturday, June 14th - 30th Anniversary of Showgirls at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

It’s a two-fer: Cinespia’s Annual Pride Screening and the 30th Anniversary of a heel-clicking, pole-licking mother-strutting glitz fit! The Vegas Strip lives up to its name in the vivid and voluptuous fever dream of neon, nails, and Nomi. It’s a pole new world when a fiery woman hitches her way to Las Vegas, where excess sells. Can the ferocious ingenue claw her way from Cheetah girl to Stardust Goddess? Join us for campy splendor in the grass. See you there, darlin’.

Saturday,  June 21st - Ferris Bueller’s Day Off at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

Life’s a parade with this John Hughes classic on the big screen. Ferris Bueller fakes a fever, swipes a Ferrari, and reminds us that “life moves pretty fast”–all before dinner. With Principal Rooney hellbent on taking down his latest lie, will Bueller play hooky like a pro or make a rookie mistake? Watch Matthew Broderick outsmart parents, maitre d’s and the whole city of Chicago to get his day in the sun. Slap on those Ray-bans and embrace the chaos of the ultimate day off.

Saturday,  June 28th - Casablanca at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

The Greatest Love Story Ever Filmed! Sadboy Bogie goes from jaded to joyful when old flame Ingrid Bergman walks into his gin joint (of all places).

Deets: Last fall, SoCal fan favorite Halloween event The Queen Mary’s Dark Harbor returned after a four-year hiatus with new production partner Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group. This year, horror enthusiasts won’t have to wait to get their Halloween fix. It may only be June, but Dark Harbor is back once again with the ultimate Friday the 13th scare.

For one night only, descend into the Feast maze in complete darkness, each group armed with nothing but a single glow stick. Navigate the twisted kitchens and galley halls where The Butcher waits patiently for fresh meat. The maze ends with a brand new sick and surreal finale sequence, where guests witness the aftermath of his most horrifying banquet yet.

In addition to the Feast maze, guests can sip sinister cocktails, grab eerie eats, and explore the Spirits of Dark Harbor and the ship’s historic Engine Room. Combo ticket holders will also have the opportunity to experience The Summoning of Samuel, a séance where the legend of B340 is resurrected in an interactive, actor-driven ritual. No other Dark Harbor attractions or experiences will be available during this special event.

Deets: Mark your calendar. The LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games will be here in six short years. The LA28 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony is set for July 14, 2028, with the Games running through July 30, 2028, and the LA28 Paralympic Games will kick off August 15, 2028, and close August 27, 2028. 

The LA28 Games will be Los Angeles’ third time hosting the Olympic Games (previously 1984, 1932) and the first time hosting the Paralympic Games. The LA28 Games will represent the creativity, diversity and youthful energy of the Los Angeles region. 

The LA28 Games will use existing world-class stadiums and sports venues across the Los Angeles region, ensuring a sustainable and fiscally responsible event. The LA28 Games will feature more than 3,000 hours of live sport across 800 events in more than 40 sports. 15,000 athletes are expected to compete in the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles. 

The announcement of the LA28 Games dates comes as International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach and IOC member and LA28 Coordination Commission Chair Nicole Hoevertsz visited Los Angeles to review and celebrate LA28’s planning. During their time in Los Angeles, Bach and Hoevertsz met with LA28 leadership, community leaders and city officials, visited sports facilities and watched PlayLA youth sports programs made possible by the LA28 Games and the IOC’s $160 million commitment.

PlayLA launched in 2021 to ensure kids across Los Angeles have an opportunity to participate in low cost or no cost quality sports programming - including adaptive sports – in their neighborhood. The $160 million investment from the IOC and LA28 is the single largest commitment to youth sport development in California.

International Paralympic Committee President Andrew Parsons added, “All of us in the Paralympic Movement are incredibly excited about LA28. We know that the Paralympic Games are the most transformative event on earth. Everywhere they take place we leave a legacy of better accessible transport, more inclusive legislation, and a societal shift in attitudes towards persons with disabilities. In LA we are going to turbocharge that. Change starts with sport and these Games will be a vehicle to transform minds and lives. Change is already happening in local communities thanks to the fantastic work of the LA28 organizing committee. These six years are going to fly by and soon, in the entertainment capital of the world, we will with our friends in LA put on the most important show America has ever seen."
