SUMMARY:Latin Jazz Sessions
DESCRIPTION:Latin Jazz Sessions  with Matthew Hernandez & Sergio Segura \nThursdays (check site for updates) \n4:30pm – 6:30pm\, all ages  \nSign up here! \nThis weekly community band is an introduction to the many popular Latin styles of music from slow and intimate cha cha and boleros to fast paced and high energy salsa\, cumbia\, and merengue. Join us for an eventful start to the first installment of the Latin Jazz Sessions at Art in the Park\, and surprise yourself with how much you could learn in just a few weeks! Sheet music and basic drumming pattern worksheets will be readily available every week. Everyone is free to join this program\, though some musical experience will greatly help in familiarizing patterns and learning songs. Art in the Park has drums and some instruments available for use\, too\, so don’t be shy – stop by and try it out for yourself.  \nMatthew Hernandez is a proud community arts advocate that has dedicated his work to the enrichment of cultural celebration and literacy through music. Understanding how music shapes and reflects cultural awareness and ambitions\, he recognizes the influence that music has over large groups of individuals that share a common ground in beliefs and expression. The main goal for Matthew is to bring those people together to share the same physical space and strengthen bonds through experiencing the ultimate form of expression that creative outlets\, like music\, allow. Being a source for bringing the community together brings him all the joy in the world\, whether it’s through live performance\, group teaching\, volunteer work\, or even just casual conversation with neighbors and friends. He currently studies at the Herb Alpert Music Center’s Applied Music Program at Los Angeles City College and has built a reputation for being the musical coordinator and saxophonist for salsa and latin jazz band\, Timba Tumbao. With his band\, he’s performed all across SoCal\, delivering a fun and high energy live latin dance show. He loves what he does because he gets the opportunity to connect with so many amazing communities and share an inclusive experience full of dancing\, smiles\, and fun memories. “Music is a language without words\, it speaks in only profound emotion and true expression.”  \nBorn and raised in El Sereno\, Los Angeles\, CA\, Sergio Segura has been a musician since theage of 13. Originally a pianist\, he found his passion lied in drums\, specifically Latin percussion drums. Following his musical passion\, Sergio went on to receive his Bachelor of Music at Cal Poly Pomona and his Masters at Cal State LA with an emphasis in Afro Latin Music\, where he studied under legendary Cuban drummer -Calixto Oviedo- learning the fundamentals of Cuban music such as son\, danzon\, cha cha’s rumba and others. Since graduating\, Sergio has been performing with various bands and artists. As of recent he has performed with Colombian cumbia artist Yeison Landero at the Hollywood Bowl and The Ford. He has also opened and shared the stage with the likes of Elvis Crespo\, La Sonora Dinamita\, Grupo Sonador among others at festivals such as Besame Mucho. Growing up first generation Mexican in a disadvantaged community\, Sergio understands the value of having spaces for children and adults to express their artistic side through music. Sergio believes in giving back to his community by sharing his knowledge. He currently continues to gig throughout the U.S. and enjoys teaching and improving his own skills. “Music is lifelong. There is never an end point and there’s always something new to learn.” “Drumming is the extension of our feelings. Everyone should have access to resources and spaces to express themselves\, regardless of the environment theygrow up in.” \nLets help keep each other healthy please stay home if you have any flu like or COVID symptoms.  \ncheck our calendar at  artinthepark.org for updates \nQuestions email info@artintheparkla.org

Everyone is free to join this program\, though some musical experience will greatly help in familiarizing patterns and learning songs. Art in the Park has drums and some instruments available for use\, too\, so don’t be shy – stop by and try it out for yourself.  \nMatthew Hernandez is a proud community arts advocate that has dedicated his work to the enrichment of cultural celebration and literacy through music. Understanding how music shapes and reflects cultural awareness and ambitions\, he recognizes the influence that music has over large groups of individuals that share a common ground in beliefs and expression. The main goal for Matthew is to bring those people together to share the same physical space and strengthen bonds through experiencing the ultimate form of expression that creative outlets\, like music\, allow. Being a source for bringing the community together brings him all the joy in the world\, whether it’s through live performance\, group teaching\, volunteer work\, or even just casual conversation with neighbors and friends. He currently studies at the Herb Alpert Music Center’s Applied Music Program at Los Angeles City College and has built a reputation for being the musical coordinator and saxophonist for salsa and latin jazz band\, Timba Tumbao. With his band\, he’s performed all across SoCal\, delivering a fun and high energy live latin dance show. He loves what he does because he gets the opportunity to connect with so many amazing communities and share an inclusive experience full of dancing\, smiles\, and fun memories. “Music is a language without words\, it speaks in only profound emotion and true expression.”  \nBorn and raised in El Sereno\, Los Angeles\, CA\, Sergio Segura has been a musician since theage of 13. Originally a pianist\, he found his passion lied in drums\, specifically Latin percussion drums. Following his musical passion\, Sergio went on to receive his Bachelor of Music at Cal Poly Pomona and his Masters at Cal State LA with an emphasis in Afro Latin Music\, where he studied under legendary Cuban drummer -Calixto Oviedo- learning the fundamentals of Cuban music such as son\, danzon\, cha cha’s rumba and others. Since graduating\, Sergio has been performing with various bands and artists. As of recent he has performed with Colombian cumbia artist Yeison Landero at the Hollywood Bowl and The Ford. He has also opened and shared the stage with the likes of Elvis Crespo\, La Sonora Dinamita\, Grupo Sonador among others at festivals such as Besame Mucho. Growing up first generation Mexican in a disadvantaged community\, Sergio understands the value of having spaces for children and adults to express their artistic side through music. Sergio believes in giving back to his community by sharing his knowledge. He currently continues to gig throughout the U.S. and enjoys teaching and improving his own skills. “Music is lifelong. There is never an end point and there’s always something new to learn.” “Drumming is the extension of our feelings. Everyone should have access to resources and spaces to express themselves\, regardless of the environment theygrow up in.” \nLets help keep each other healthy please stay home if you have any flu like or COVID symptoms.  \ncheck our calendar at  artinthepark.org for updates \nQuestions email info@artintheparkla.org

SUMMARY:Berta Sosa - Celebración De La Vida
DESCRIPTION:It is with hearts full of gratitude for the life of Berta Elia Torres Sosa that we share the news of her passing on March 9th 2025. \nBerta lived a life deeply rooted in family\, community\, food\, music\, flowers and the arts. Born in Tijuana and raised in Mexicali\, Mexico\, she came to Los Angeles at 18\, and at 21\, met the love of her life\, Stan. Together\, they built a life centered in love\, family and uplifting their community. \nIn all she did—as a legal secretary\, lunch lady\, and director of Art in the Park from 1996 till 2017—Berta was a fierce advocate for her community. She centered community knowledge and connections\, created beauty\, stood up for what was right\, and made things happen. Intuitively\, she lifted others—especially those just beginning to find their voice.  \nStan Sosa\, Sabrina\, Roxie\, and her grandkids Ronan\, Elia\, Kiki and Nacho invite you to remember Berta\, to share your stories\, and to carry forward her light. \nPlease join us on April 13th at noon @ Art in the Park

SUMMARY:Latin Percussion Lab
DESCRIPTION:Latin Percussion Lab with Matthew Hernandez & Sergio Segura \nThursdays (check site for updates) \n 3:30 pm – 4:15 pm   \nThis workshop happens in partnership with Neighborhood Music School  \nLatin Percussion Lab  \nSign up here! \nThis program is designed to introduce basic rhythms and counting exercises for students through the use of hand percussion and Afro-Latin drumming techniques. Students will have a chance to learn all about essential elements in Latin music like clave\, tumbao\, and basic conga tones. There will be an introduction to different types of instruments each week as well as a song of the week by various salsa and cha cha icons. This will be a very fun and engaging drumming course. \nMatthew Hernandez is a proud community arts advocate that has dedicated his work to the enrichment of cultural celebration and literacy through music. Understanding how music shapes and reflects cultural awareness and ambitions\, he recognizes the influence that music has over large groups of individuals that share a common ground in beliefs and expression. The main goal for Matthew is to bring those people together to share the same physical space and strengthen bonds through experiencing the ultimate form of expression that creative outlets\, like music\, allow. Being a source for bringing the community together brings him all the joy in the world\, whether it’s through live performance\, group teaching\, volunteer work\, or even just casual conversation with neighbors and friends.  \nHe currently studies at the Herb Alpert Music Center’s Applied Music Program at Los Angeles City College and has built a reputation for being the musical coordinator and saxophonist for salsa and latin jazz band\, Timba Tumbao. With his band\, he’s performed all across SoCal\, delivering a fun and high energy live latin dance show. He loves what he does because he gets the opportunity to connect with so many amazing communities and share an inclusive experience full of dancing\, smiles\, and fun memories. “Music is a language without words\, it speaks in only profound emotion and true expression.”  \nBorn and raised in El Sereno\, Los Angeles\, CA\, Sergio Segura has been a musician since theage of 13. Originally a pianist\, he found his passion lied in drums\, specifically Latin percussion drums. Following his musical passion\, Sergio went on to receive his Bachelor of Music at Cal Poly Pomona and his Masters at Cal State LA with an emphasis in Afro Latin Music\, where he studied under legendary Cuban drummer -Calixto Oviedo- learning the fundamentals of Cuban music such as son\, danzon\, cha cha’s rumba and others. Since graduating\, Sergio has been performing with various bands and artists. As of recent he has performed with Colombian cumbia artist Yeison Landero at the Hollywood Bowl and The Ford. He has also opened and shared the stage with the likes of Elvis Crespo\, La Sonora Dinamita\, Grupo Sonador among others at festivals such as Besame Mucho. Growing up first generation Mexican in a disadvantaged community\, Sergio understands the value of having spaces for children and adults to express their artistic side through music. Sergio believes in giving back to his community by sharing his knowledge. He currently continues to gig throughout the U.S. and enjoys teaching and improving his own skills. “Music is lifelong. There is never an end point and there’s always something new to learn.” “Drumming is the extension of our feelings. Everyone should have access to resources and spaces to express themselves\, regardless of the environment theygrow up in.” \nLets help keep each other healthy please stay home if you have any flu like or COVID symptoms.  \nCheck our calendar at  artinthepark.org for updates \nQuestions email info@artintheparkla.org \n

SUMMARY:Community Art Exhibition & Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Community Art Exhibition & Celebration — April 5\, 2–5pm\nPhotos made by Uncle George and made in the workshops will be up for display\, along with all the unique pinhole cameras. \nAll are welcome to this open exhibit! \nGeorge Lane Benson\, affectionately known as “Uncle George” to his great-niece once removed\, Anahid Yahjian\, was a self-taught photographer\, tinkerer and adventurer who was born in East LA in 1935 and lived in Norwalk until his death in 2012. He picked up pinhole photography during his retirement\, documenting his changing city on his bicycle. \nIn his twilight years\, he taught Yahjian\, then a college film student\, his new craft. She inherited many of his prints and negatives and all of his equipment\, including his wonderful handmade pinhole cameras and light charts. Hoping to give the cameras and gear a new purpose\, Yahjian pulled them from storage and passed them down to filmmaker and arts educator Daphna Lapidot\, who brought them to Art in the Park for our educational programming.
