What:
Explore Mariachi music with the AMFS, and perform alongside a professional Mariachi ensemble! This three-day program includes:
- Active full-group rehearsals and technique-building sessions on traditional Mariachi instruments (vihuela, guitarrón, violin, guitar, trumpet, and voice) and non-Mariachi instruments alike.
- Instructional breakouts with instrument specialists from across Colorado and local music educators
- Keynote presentations on the tradition and historical evolution of Mariachi folk music
- Intergenerational learning opportunities
- A featured performance in Klein Music Tent as part of the AMFS's Mariachi Celebration: The repertoire will include the following three newly commissioned Multi-Level Masterpiece (michaellinert.com/mlm) arrangements by Michael Linert: "Los Machetes", "Las Golondrinas", and "La Bamba". The concert will conclude with a grand finale performance of "Cielito Lindo" with all the performers and the audience!
- lots of fun, friendship, community building, and more!
