Hi all,
I just wanted to give a quick update for some concerts I recommend MAP students to attend.
Upcoming concerts
Attending music concerts is a critical part of education. Just as we learn language by listening to those around us speaking the language, we learn music by listening to it, and a concert is a presentation of music by people speaking their musical language. Plus, one of these concerts features a MAP music instructor as performer, and one features MAP students.
So, here’s some upcoming concerts:
- Friday, April 5, 8:15 p.m. — The Boston/Havana Connection Led by Dan Fox (MAP instructor Anabel Gil Diaz performing on flute): https://www.arlingtonjazz.org/ahs-jazz-band–the-bostonhavana-connection.html
- Friday, April 19, 7:00 p.m. — ALEA Contemporary Guitar Series presents Joaquin Clerch and Tal Hurwitz (guitar): https://www.eventbrite.com/e/alea-contemporary-guitar-series-joaquin-clerch-and-tal-hurwitz-tickets-842517431317
- Friday, April 26, 8:00 p.m. — Noise Salon presents “Lost at the Foundry” (MAP instructor Devin Ulibarri performing on guitar): https://www.eventbrite.com/e/lost-at-the-foundry-tickets-872093183187
- Saturday, May 4, 7:30 p.m. — Andrew York (Guitar): https://bostonguitar.org/event/andrew-york/
- Saturday, May 18, 1:00 p.m. (Sunday, May 19 rain date) — Malden PorchFest (MAP students performing at City Hall Plaza): https://online.mapflc.com/events/map-at-malden-porchfest/
For the paid events, MAP instructor Devin Ulibarri may be able to get students in for a discount. If you are currently taking lessons and interested in attending, please ask.
Upcoming art event
MAP art instructor Chie Yasuda will be showcasing her work as part of Somerville Open Studios on the weekend of May 4-5. If you are able, we encourage you to check out her work. Her art will be showcased at the Armory in Somerville, MA. More information is available at https://www.somervilleopenstudios.org/web/artists/artist_profile/1406
Keep the learning going!
We hope that families can take advantage of this list of events, which we expect to be entertaining, educational, and inspiring. We’ll also do our best to keep you in the loop of other events.
Cheers!
Devin Ulibarri, MAP Teaching Artist
