Lectures begin at 8:00 pm
We’re proud to enter our 26th season in the Pasadena community! Our Pasadena Distinguished Speaker Series evenings are held at the Ambassador Auditorium, located on the historic Ambassador College campus. The Ambassador was notably referred to as “The Carnegie Hall of the West” during the period between 1974-1995 as it hosted some of the most internationally renowned singers and performers. With its stunning architectural design and accompanying reflection pool, you’ll feel as if you’re entering a modern Greek temple! Before attending a #SpeakersLA night, we recommend dining at a local favorite like Il Fornaio, Malbec Argentinean cuisine, The Parkway Grill, Arroyo Chop House or True Food Kitchen!
