Melodia Mariposa is a nonprofit music organization serving Altadena, Pasadena, and surrounding communities in Los Angeles County, presenting live performances featuring top-tier professional musicians in a wide variety of styles and genres—including classical, ballet, tango, opera, folk, and more. Almost all of our concerts are free and open to the public, making high-quality artistic experiences accessible to everyone in the community.
We bring free performances to senior homes, memory care centers, cancer support organizations, and underserved neighborhoods. These outreach concerts provide meaningful cultural connection and emotional support to those with limited access to the arts.
We offer young musicians the opportunity to perform with us in professional settings, helping them grow artistically and gain valuable experience. Our goal is to give them the space and support to shine.
In times of local crisis, such as following the Eaton fire, we’ve also organized benefit concerts and extended support to musicians who lost their houses.

These core programs reflect our commitment to serve, uplift, and inspire the local community through music and the arts.
