On Saturday, March 19, 2016, join us in a celebration of Johann Sebastian Bach’s 331st birthday with a free concert at the Historic Glendale Transportation Center.

The Cello Ensemble from the Pasadena Conservatory of Music, led by Rebecca Merblum, String Department Chair is joining musicians from around the world for Bach in the Subways Day.

The concert will take place in Glendale's Historic train depot, located at 400 W. Cerritos Avenue, Glendale. 

 

Bach in the Subways is an international movement with events in subways, train stations, and other public spaces in 129 cities in 39 countries. Performances sow the seeds for future generations of classical music lovers by generating public interest and excitement for the art form. The music is given freely as a gift, and as an invitation to further explore classical music.

Before Starting a Residential Window Project in Glendale

Did you know that a permit is always required when changing, installing and/or updating your windows in Glendale?

Over two thousand permit applications are processed through the City’s Permit Services Center each year.  A large portion of these permits involve the installation of new windows. Too often we find out about  changes to windows after they've been purchased and installed. Property owners may be surprised to find out that the windows they spent time and money installing don't meet the City's requirements and must be removed. If you’re thinking about changing the windows in your residential property, there are some basic guidelines and requirements you should be aware of before purchasing your windows and moving forward with your plans.

We’ve outlined these important requirements that must be met before, during and after your window installation project takes place. We hope this helps you successfully navigate the City’s permitting process while avoiding unnecessary delays.
