    “A Remarkable Story” with Zoot Velasco and Altadena Heritage

    Zoot was severely burned as an infant, losing the muscles in his right foot, yet went on to a 12-year career as a professional dancer, actor, and international touring artist working with Prince, Michael Jackson, Arsenio Hall, and James Cameron among others. In addition to raising more than $32 million for various organizations, he built four art centers for the City of LA, a Boys & Girls Club, and a Theatre for the City of Long Beach. Join us to hear his remarkable story.

    March Events

    March is a month of transition in Southern California. The skies are blue (usually), the flowers are blooming, and there is a pep in the collective step of the community. As usual, there was plenty of energy and activity in and around MonteCedro as residents took advantage of every event. From musical concerts and artistic pursuits, outings and travel adventures, to making friends with new neighbors, March was filled with melody and memories.

    Future Residents and Ambassadors

    Establishing connections before moving into a new community is a gift. Our most recent gathering for soon-to-be-residents of MonteCedro’s almost-completed villas was a delightful evening at The Athenaeum. Current and future residents were treated to an interactive cooking class with their talented Chef Octavio. He worked his culinary magic in a hearth oven, similar to the one coming to MonteCedro’s new restaurant Julia’s, which will be opening later this summer. The evening’s menu included flat breads, fresh fish, vegetables and California farm-to-table cuisine, giving a hint of the tastes to come in the new restaurant.

    Guests enjoyed incredible food, lively conversation, and plenty of laughter while forming new friendships. The evening was a wonderful reminder of the vibrant community that is at the heart of MonteCedro.

    And The Band Played On

    Music is an important part of an active (and interactive) lifestyle. MonteCerdo recently welcomed Camerata Pacifica. Drawing the finest chamber artists from around the world, Camerata Pacifica explores chamber music in live, dynamic performances. An oboe, flute, and piano trio brought their talent to MonteCedro for a spectacular morning performance. Lively, intriguing, and melodic, the talented musicians received roaring applause.

    Exotic Adventures

    MonteCedro residents have lived incredible and interesting lives and hearing their stories about their adventures is captivating. Recently, one resident shared slides and stories from his travels to New Guinea. The packed auditorium was enthralled, whisked away on a fantastic, virtual adventure.

    Closer to the Heart

    February was the month of hearts at MonteCedro’s memory care residents from The Courtyards community took With the red hearts of Valentine’s Day and painted hearts to celebrate the Olympics, there was never a shortage of love to share. Residents showed off their artistic talents, creating a blend of beautiful, heart-shaped odes to love, country, and team spirit.

    O Sole Mio

    A very special “Afterhours” musical event at MonteCedro featured the powerful yet sensitive voice of Matthew Hough. Accompanied by virtuoso Vijay Venkatesh on piano, the duo lit up the auditorium with a selection of popular opera standards. Bravo!

    Outings

    In The Garden

    This month, residents enjoyed The Huntington Library Art Museum and Botanical Gardens. Memory care residents from The Courtyards community took a tram tour through the botanical gardens where the spectacular flora was in glorious spring bloom. Others enjoyed the visual arts exhibitions at the Huntington Art Gallery, followed by a delicious lunch. The blue skies and warm temperatures made for a perfect outing.
