A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
AZUSA HONORING THE 25th ANNIVERSARY OF THE
LOS ANGELES COUNTY MUSIC CENTER
WHEREAS, Our neighbor to the north, San Francisco, for years snickered
snobbishly about the dearth of Fine Arts in Southern
California, trumpeting loudly about its cosmopolitan
sophistication and our low -brow, Peter Pan in a dirty shirt,
plastic environment, and
WHEREAS, All of that has been muffled by the development of local
intellectual, cultural and historical institutions. In the
forefront of these, since 1964, has been the Los Angeles
County MUSIC CENTER, a pristinely shining symbol of the County
of the City of the Angels; it seems to embody, not brooding
massiveness, but rather an airy all encompassing joyous paean
of triumph, which marks the successful culmination of the
struggle of our brash western spirit to achieve a true
expression of itself in the arts. It visually, silently,
communicates to us all the enduring truth of what the poet,
Joseph Addison, wrote in the seventeenth century, that music
is ....... All of heaven we have below".
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Azusa,
on the occasion of the celebration marking the 25th Anniversary of the
LOS ANGELES COUNTY MUSIC CENTER,
unites in honoring all who had the vision and perseverence to bring to us
this beautiful, enduring monument to music; may it forever stand as a beacon
directing humanity to its universally understood language uniting us in a
harmonic alliance of kindred appreciation.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED, this 17th day of July, 1989.
