SPACE presents Noche con Mariachi
SPACE (Near & Arnold’s School of Performing Arts & Cultural Education) presents Noche de Estrellas (Night of the Stars) on Saturday, March 15, at 7pm at the Ukiah High School Cafetorium, 1000 Low Gap Rd., Ukiah.
This year Noche de Estrellas will be 100% live mariachi music and performances from Ballet Folklorico de Luther Burbank Center for the Arts (LBC) who will perform beautiful Mexican ballet folkloric dancing with Luther Burbank Center’s Ensemble, Mariachi Cantares de Mi Tierra.
"LBC’s Mariachi Ensemble is a year-round program serving over 120 students focusing on much more than music. Led by LBC’s Music Specialist, Matthew Isais Bowker, students learn critical social and emotional skills including perseverance, leadership, cooperation, and collaboration in addition to technique, musicianship, and stage presence through the lens of mariachi.” Ballet Folklorico’s year-long after school program allows students to attend weekly rehearsals, participate in performances at community events, and provides dance costumes for student use. Classes cover dance technique, stage presence, and Ballet Folklórico history and culture.
Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for youth under 18. Tickets are available at The Mendocino Book Company (cash or check), SPACE Office, at the door and www.spaceperformingarts.org. For information , call (707) 462-9370 or visit www.spaceperformingarts.org.
