Presented in collaboration with Napa Valley College as part of their 6th Annual ¡Viva Mariachi! celebration, today’s Novack Concert for Kids features Mariachi Las Aguilitas de Davis Bilingual Elementary School in Tucson, Arizona, an award-winning ensemble whose members performed on Good Morning America in 2023. A pre-concert Mariachi instrument petting zoo organized by the Napa Valley Education Foundation’s Music Connection program gives students the opportunity to experience some hands-on learning about this rich musical tradition and its origins.
This concert is made possible by the generous support of Kenneth and Deborah Novack.
