Thank you to everyone who joined us last Thursday at Naperville Central Park! It was such a beautiful concert day and a great way to spend the evening with our community. A big thank you to the Naperville Municipal Band for inviting us to participate again this year!

This March, we’ve built an entire month around "The House on Mango Street" by Sandra Cisneros, bringing together story, music, students, and community partners in a shared celebration!

We’ll be at the Wheaton Public Library for a Writer’s Workshop on Monday, March 2. Students from across DuPage County will attend a field trip concert. Local Hispanic artists will exhibit their work in the lobby during our performances. The DuPage Hispanic Alliance will present on the history of mariachi music. It’s a full month of meaningful collaboration.

On March 21st, everything comes together on stage with the DuPage Symphony Orchestra and Mariachi Acero de Las Vegas in a full concert with mariachi music and symphony orchestra!

Register for the Writer’s Workshop here... no need to read the book in advance (though copies are available at the Wheaton Public Library):

Thank you for joining us for "Radiant Voices" this past weekend... our 12th sold-out concert in a row! Wentz Concert Hall was full, and the energy matched it. From Debussy to Ticheli to Dvořák, the orchestra took on a demanding program and delivered it with confidence. After the concert, many of you stayed to meet guest artist Leland Ko and members of the DSO in the lobby. Thank you for supporting live music in Chicagoland and for helping us keep this momentum going.

We look forward to seeing you in March for "Mariachi Mosaic!"
