The James Allen Freeman House

The James Allen Freeman House, where our season opening concert on February 9 will be held, was built in 1913 and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as one of the masterworks of architects Heineman and Heineman, and also because of its association with significant owners, its outstanding state of preservation, and its contribution to the architectural and historic significance of Pasadena. The Freeman House was selected by the Pasadena Arts Council in 1969 as one of the twelve most architecturally important “Heritage Houses” in the city. The Freeman House is one of only seven homes designated by the City of Pasadena as an Historic Monument.

The Freeman House is the residence of Michael Schneikert and Karen Otamura, who have lovingly and meticulously restored the house to its original design over the past ten years. It is a remarkably beautiful house, and the sounds of four cellos playing Bach, Brubeck, and Friesen will make it even more so.
