Celebrate the rich cultural traditions of Mexico through the vibrant artistry of the musicians and dancers in LBC’s afterschool Marichi and Ballet Folklórico programs at Voces y Pasos (Voices and Steps): A Cultural Celebration. Featuring more than 170 of Sonoma County’s talented youth, Voces y Pasos brings these traditions and celebrations to life in an unforgettable stage performance that pays tribute to their Mexican heritage.
Under the leadership of LBC Music Specialist Matthew Isais Bowker, LBC’s Mariachi Ensemble enrolls students ages 8 to 19 from all over the county. Together they deliver stunning performances that blend technical skill, stage presence, and heartfelt expression. The Ballet Folklórico program, guided by instructors Victor Ferrer and Vanessa Carillo, highlights the grace and vibrancy of traditional Mexican folk dance. Students in grades 4-12 showcase the rich history and culture of the dance, performing in stunning costumes that enhance their captivating movements.
The young performers in these programs devote themselves to weekly rehearsals and regular performances at community events that continue to shape them into impressive artists. Thanks to the generosity of our donors and sponsors, they can participate at no cost to their families, with all equipment and costumes provided.
Join us for an inspiring evening that shines the spotlight on the voices and steps of these talented students and honors the enduring power of culture, tradition, and community.
