Gardens Host Mariachi & Mozart

Mariachi is integral to Mexican culture. And part of ensuring it continues is teaching it to young students, like those who comprise the Luther Burbank Center’s Mariachi Cantares de Mi Tierra. The ensemble has performed in front of thousands at Fiesta de Independencia. But on August 13 at 2:30 p.m. they will give a more intimate concert at the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens in Fort Bragg. Joining them will be Cuban classical pianist Elena Casanova and her string trio, who, at noon, will perform the work of Mozart, Fauré, and Brahms. Sponsored by the Symphony of the Redwoods, these bilingual concerts are free with gardens’ admission: $8–$20; free for ages 5 and younger. Tickets for EBT- and WIC-card holders are $2. Seating is first come, first served; picnics are encouraged. Find out more at tinyurl.com/mv2ntkmv.
