Youth Classical Concert at the Opening of the Biblioteca Los Mangos’ Anniversary

Once again, come enjoy the Youth Classical Concert featuring the dedicated efforts of young classical musicians, choirs, guitar ensembles, classical ballet and dancers at Los Mangos!

Lic. Ricardo Murrieta, Director of the Biblioteca Los Mangos and Maestra Cecilia Scriban are very pleased to announce the Youth Classical Concert for the Opening of the Los Mangos 12th Anniversary celebrations. This children and youth series of concerts, started since the fall of 2004, will again take place in the big Library Hall on Friday, November 21 at 6:00 pm.

From the outset, such concerts celebrating classical artistic expression have been a continuous endeavor to nurture and increase awareness and appreciation of music of this genre. The idea of organizing such concerts providing a platform for young classical musicians of Vallarta came to the promoter, Maestra Cecilia Scriban, as a natural extension of her lifelong music teaching career.

The Youth Classical Concert will feature promising students at various levels of instrumental music and choirs. Performances will include pieces for piano, guitar, accordion and mandolin, prepared by dedicated teachers like Maestros Heriberto Hernandez from the Sindicato de Filarmonicos, Enrique Pineda of the British-American School, Javier Nuñez of the Colegio Jean Piaget, Aidé Lirio Velasquez of the Centro Escolar de Expresion y Arte Ameyali and Gabriel Ruiz Mercado of La Biblioteca Los Mangos. Also performing will be the dance and ballet workshops of La Biblioteca Los Mangos under the leadership of Maestras Gabriela Raigosa and Melissa Castillo. The evening will conclude with an exciting piano recital performed by our special guest performer, the vibrant and talented Vallarta concert pianist Alejandro Villarreal.

With such a full and fine line up of music and dance, we all here, Lic. Ricardo Murrieta, Cecilia and teachers are looking forward to another great turn-out for this delightful evening, with your numerous and ever warm support in this worthy endeavor.

See you all at the Biblioteca Los Mangos!

Blues harmonica maestro Harmonica Curtis Blake is visiting PV for a few days next week. He’s a world class player from Minnesota. Lisa & I have both worked with him in the past and he contacted us to play somewhere while he is here.

We have arranged a show at Cuates y Cuetes Friday October 31 ( Halloween) starting around 8 pm until around 10:30 pm.

If there is a good turnout, and maybe enough money in the tip jar to defray expenses, we will also play at Cuates y Cuetes Monday November 3rd; otherwise we will stay at home and get drunk.

Curtis’ website (with CDs, music, video, bio, etc, is http://www.harmonicacurtisblake.com/index.html

Cuates y Cuetes is at the foot of the Los Muertos pier, in the middle of Los Muertos Beach.
