On Sunday, June 4, 2017 at the beautiful Unitarian Universalist Church of Studio City, proud piano teacher Linda Wehrli of Pastimes for a Lifetime hosted the annual June Student Piano Concert.
This year’s show included classical & contemporary solos performed by eight of her students:
Ryan B., Carmen S.
Ryan P., Mason S.
Chris K., Adela M.
Cameron C., Aidan C.
Linda’s hubby and fellow pianist and composer, Barry Michael Wehrli, graciously performed the duty of Master of Ceremonies, introducing the students and their pieces.
Proceeding the student portion of the concert, pianist Linda Wehrli had the pleasure of playing duets with flutist Ljiljana Lukic and cellist Caroline Coward. They closed the show with a gorgeous trio. It was so lovely listening to the three instruments playing simultaneously!
Recording sound was master engineer, Randall Michael Tobin of Theta Sound Studio. MP3s of the student performances can be enjoyed on Pastimes for a Lifetime’s YouTube channel.
After the concert, students and guests enjoyed delicious gourmet sandwiches and desserts by Chef Pete Miller of Pete’s Sweets along with platters of fruit and veggies and beverages generously donated by students’ families. Performers and staff received artisanal dark chocolate musical notes by Anita Burgoyne of Custom Chocolate Designs, a lovely way to end a beautiful concert!
We would like to thank the students, families, and guest musicians for making this concert possible. Also, a big thank you to Barry Wehrli, Randy Tobin, and the Unitarian Universalist Church of Studio City.

I’ve been committed to continuing lifelong learning and inspiring creative thinking through art and music since 1989. I’d love to meet you! You’re welcome to chat with me on Zoom or stop by the studio. Just shoot me an email at Linda@pastimesinc.com and I’ll be glad to set up a mutually convenient time.
This was one of the best concerts yet. The students played very well… as did the guest artists! 🙂 The piano, acoustics, and setting at this church are good for a piano concert – they may get my future business.
So glad you thought so. Indeed!
As the periodic pastimesinc recitals gain more and more recognition, a ground swell of musicians will populate the Valley and bring aesthetic pleasure to all.
Thank you for the lovely words. That is my goal, indeed.
Quite proud of my accomplished niece..good musician, good caring teacher and “all around nice person”!
