Founded in 1957, The Women’s Committee of The Pasadena Symphony Association is a dedicated group of volunteers who celebrate and support The Pasadena Symphony through fundraising events. Since 1968, the Committee’s major effort has been the Holiday Look In home tour, held annually on the first full weekend of December. Over the past thirty-nine years, this enormously popular event has become an anticipated community celebration, offering visitors a chance to view four distinctive homes in the Pasadena area that are decorated for the holiday season by prominent floral designers.

Planning has already begun for the 40th Holiday Look In to be held on December 1 and 2, 2007. The Women’s Committee is looking forward once again to bringing together people interested in fine architecture, well-cared for homes, beautifully decorated interiors, complements of exquisite flower arrangements and lovingly tended gardens. As in the past several years, a Holiday Boutique of quality arts and crafts will be featured where complimentary refreshments will be served.

Our highly successful Holiday Look In was recently recognized by the American Symphony Orchestra League as a model fundraiser and was featured in the ASOL Gold Book.

Of course, the entire event is a celebration of music!  Musicians play in the homes and at our Boutique.  Proceeds from the Holiday Look In benefit The Pasadena Symphony concerts and music education programs for children. Over the years our event has raised over  $2.4 million for The Pasadena Symphony.

The Women’s Committee, an auxiliary of The Pasadena Symphony Association, meets once a month from October through May. Musical performances add to the pleasure of the meetings, which are held in an atmosphere of warmth and friendship. At an annual luncheon, new members are welcomed. Smaller groups of members meet throughout the year to organize the Holiday Look In.
