Youth oriented lecture/demonstration service providing a deeper look into the music, culture, and instruments of New Mexican String Band music. Part of Spark Children's Museum's Free First Sunday program, allowing all guests to enter the museum free of charge. (open to the public)
LONE PIÑON- Lone Piñon is a New Mexican string band, or “orquesta típica”, whose music celebrates the integrity and diversity of their region's cultural roots. With fiddles, upright bass, guitars, accordions, vihuela, and bilingual vocals, they play a wide spectrum of the traditional music that is at home in New Mexico. The Norte has long been a crossroads of cultures, and centuries of intersecting histories, trade routes, migrations, and cultural movements have endowed the region with an expansive and rich musical heritage that weaves together Spanish, Mexican, Indigenous, European immigrant, Anglo-American, and Afro-American musical influences.
Global Music Series - The purpose of Rochester Civic Music's Global Music Series is to foster among community members an appreciation for music, develop future audience, patrons and contributors for the arts and introduce the community to a variety of musical instruments and genres. Each of the artists engaged are meritorious Global Music artists of national or international importance. The vision of this project will enable Civic Music to contribute to a fuller understanding of diverse cultural points of view, helping citizens gain insight into how they define their broader community and themselves.
