The second current program:

Micki Schulman is the contact person for the facility.
Flor Guerreco is the Activities director at the Westwood Facility.
Country Villa Westwood Conv.
12121 Santa Monica Blvd
Westwood, CA

This program is in two parts. There is a Concert program is where a performer or performers play classical, big band era, jazz, or lite mellow type music to a captive audience so to speak. The Strolling Minstrel program is more relaxed and flexible in the type or genre of music but should still be mellow. The strolling minstrel is just what it sounds like, the musician or musicians go from room to room singing to the residents that cannot leave their rooms for whatever reasons. They also serenade the staff as well. The time frames for this is from 2p to 3p consisting of an hours performance. The facility and I set this up for an ongoing rotation of every 2nd Saturday of the month. This facility does have a piano but no PA system. The musician who does the Concert would have to bring their own PA system. Unless they can project really well. The strolling musician is not affected by the needs of a PA.

The needs are listed below: We need 3 artists for each of these shows!

September 8th 2p - 3p Saturday both Concert and Strolling musician(s)
October 13th 2p - 3p Saturday Concert only November 10th 2p - 3p Saturday both Concert and Strolling musician(s)
