Sones de México Ensemble will do a special live performance to observe 25 years since their very first gig in 1994. The project brought together musicians and educators who wanted to develop a new voice in Chicago. The band has toured 30 U.S. States, produced 6 albums, 2 Grammy™ nominations and won 4 Chicago Music Awards for Best Latin Band. As educators, they have taught tens of thousands in schools around the country and recently opened their own Mexican Music School in Chicago

Chef Dudley Nieto, a graduate of the renowned Le Cordon Bleu culinary arts school, hails from Puebla, Mexico. He is a long-time friend of the Ensemble and a culinary counterpart when it comes to honoring Mexico’s folk traditions. As a creative artist in his own right, he will prepare a special, five course regional Mexican dinner inspired by the group’s mission to surprise and please the senses. He is currently the Executive Chef at Sabores Auténticos de México.
