Come enjoy an exciting and memorable Christmas show guaranteed to put you in the holiday spirit, “Together Again For Christmas,” with nearly 90 singers featuring the nine-time International Chorus Champions Masters of Harmony based in Los Angeles, joined by their guest, award-winning Pacific Coast Harmony chorus of La Jolla, on Saturday, December 10 at 3 p.m. The acoustics in the beautiful Sanctuary are extraordinary and vibrant thus expanding the close harmony and magic the two choruses create. It’s a thrill for performers and audience as well! The venue is suited for musical performances from string quartets and small orchestras to vocal extravaganzas such as this. The surroundings are extraordinary with beautiful tile mosaics under an exceptionally beautiful dome covered with a mosaic image of Jesus. The Masters of Harmony chorus is one of the premier men’s a cappella groups in America. As a chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society, they regularly compete with more than 800 choruses from the United States, Canada, and several foreign countries. Besides cyclical competition at divisional, district and international contests, the chorus performs at barbershop shows, commercial bookings, community concerts, and other special events such as the International A Cappella Festival in Saint Petersburg, Russia and the 75th Anniversary Commemoration of the attack on Pearl Harbor in Honolulu. The Masters of Harmony welcomes men from all walks of life who enjoy singing at a high level. If you’re one of those men, they would love to have you join them Wednesday evenings at 7:30 p.m. at La Mirada Methodist Church, 15700 Rosecrans Ave., La Mirada. They have recorded eight albums. All are available at www.mastersofharmony.org or after this performance.

United more by strategy than sound, the city's stars are fans-first nonconformists, who have often succeeded by doing the opposite of what the industry deems bankable.

Federal law requires organizations that get federal funding to provide services in languages that can be understood by everyone. California has the largest population of non-English speakers. This can be a challenge for someone who is limited English proficient (LEP). Often LEP folks experience care delays, longer hospital stay, and sub-optimal quality. One third of U.S. hospitals fail to provide interpretation services and one fourth of hospitals that serve patients that need language services do not provide them. The problem is due to the accessibility and the cost of having an interpreter for everyday communication. Currently, patients are told that they “might” have someone that speaks a language which can lead to greater issues of loss of confidentiality and potential medical errors since it means a worker is taken away from their actual work position. Further, LEP and minority patients are routinely excluded from important clinical trials and research due to a language barrier. A lack of minorities in research like COVID-19 vaccine studies and cancer treatments could be improved by incorporating trained bilingual researcher assistants (BiRA). Though many bilingual students are often confident in conversational speaking, they might be unsure about using language skills in a research setting. Our project will help students to build up their existing or Legacy language skills, in addition to providing cultural and clinically competent training in research with LEP and vulnerable populations.
