La Cañada Presbyterian Church’s 50-piece orchestra will take guests on a whimsical, comical journey on Sunday, April 29, when it presents “Musical Hilarity†at 4 p.m. in the church Sanctuary.
The program is a “mad concoction of familiar music,†promised Jack Lantz, LCPC’s director of music and worship arts, who will direct. Among the selections will be music from Looney Tunes cartoons, “The Lone Ranger†theme from Rossini’s “William Tell Overture,†P.D.Q. Bach’s infamous “1712 Overture” and Leroy Anderson’s “The Typewriter,†with percussionist Terry Schonig performing on a vintage Remington typewriter. Excerpts from Mozart’s “A Musical Joke†will also be featured.

About La Cañada Presbyterian Church
La Cañada Presbyterian Church (LCPC) began in 1948 with 158 members and a vision to reach the world for Jesus Christ. That early church was built quite literally on faith and charity from remainder brick and an operating budget that turned just about all of its revenue into active ministry. Through 65 years of outreach, LCPC grew to 2,000 active attendees doing ministry throughout Southern California and in 40 countries around the world. In 2010 the church completed a campus expansion which doubled its physical base for ministry and kept its historical sanctuary as the heart of the new grounds.
