La Patronal
7pm Saturday March 30
La Patronal is a unique brass band from Lima, Peru. Rooted in the tradition of ‘fiestas populares’ or town fairs common in rural villages across Latin America, La Patronal honors these gatherings, which celebrate tradition through fireworks, dancing, and religious images. La Patronal members are direct descendants of rural musicians from Peru, and use this knowledge of folk culture in combination with their formal music studies to preserve their heritage while also bringing it to the present. Their lively performances encourage audience participation and dancing with contagious percussion and vibrant brass and winds.
This performance is partially underwritten by a grant from the Mid-Atlantic Arts Federation and includes a free community dance workshop at the theater on Saturday afternoon.
Tickets are $15 each or $10 for Students w/ID. Season Tickets: Purchase 5 or more events at the same time through our box office to receive a 10% discount. Please note that BALCONY Tickets require walking up significant stairs. No Refunds or Exchanges.
This engagement of La Patronal is made possible through Southern Exposure: Performing Arts of Latin America, a program of Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts. This performance also is partially underwritten by a grant from the Robeson County Arts Council.
