Cesar Chavez Musical Benefit ~ March 7
|
"I find 'Let the Eagle Fly' a first-rate musical drama", says Sheldon Harbick -Tony®, GRAMMY®, and Pulitzer Prize winner for Fiorello! and Fiddle on the Roof, "The book and the score are remarkable, heartfelt, touching and inspired."
Chavez Family Vision debuts "Let The Eagle Fly - The Story of Cesar Chavez" in Silicon Valley in March 2010. This inspirational musical tells the story of Cesar E. Chavez, one of the most influential civil rights leaders of our time and a crusader for non-violent change. It traces Chavez's life from his childhood, as the son of migrant farm workers in the Great Depression, through his founding of the farm workers union and commitment to the non-violent struggle for social and economic justice. Silicon Valley, once an agricultural area known as "The Valley of Heart's Delight" is where Chavez began his community activism. The musical focuses primarily on the five-year grape boycott which brought nationwide attention to the farm workers' plight. For more information visit LetTheEagleFly.com

Misa de Los Imigrantes ~ March 5 & 7

Don't miss this exciting premiere performance of Misa De Los Inmigrantes(Mass of the Immigrants). This is a very powerful piece of music composed by Henry Mollicone, a local composer, who has delivered to us his sympathy and care of the plight of all immigrants. Henry
Mollicone's unmistakable touch, the Latin rhythms and changing meter of
this World Premiere interweaves the elements of the mass in Spanish and
the story of Guadalupe, or Lupe, an undocumented person.
