SUMMARY:Los San Patricios: The Irish Soldiers of Mexico (Midland\, MI)
DESCRIPTION:Los San Patricios: The Irish Soldiers of Mexico is a joint concert of Sones de Mexico Ensemble with Sean Cleland and the Irish Music School of Chicago. \nIn 1846-48\, during the Mexican-American War\, a group of gallant soldiers formed mostly by recent Irish immigrants to the United States\, who called themselves the St. Patrick’s Battalion (Batallón de San Patricio)\, fought alongside Mexico against the U.S. invasion. The San Patricios fought under a green silk flag emblazoned with the Mexican coat of arms\, an image of St. Patrick\, and the words “Erin Go Bragh.” \nTwo highly respected Chicago organizations\, each representing a community with deep immigrant roots\, will share one stage when Mexican folk music group Sones de México Ensemble\, directed by Victor Pichardo and ethnomusicologist Juan Dies\, joins forces with Irish fiddler and director of the Irish Music School of Chicago\, Seán Cleland and the Kilgubbin Ensemble. The concert will use the music of fiddles\, harps\, accordions\, foot tapping and voices of Irish jigs and Mexican son. A script by Molly Sturdevant and poetry by Vincent Velázquez will tell the little-known story of Los San Patricios\, the St. Patrick’s Battalion. \nPresented by the Midland Center for the Arts Windows on the World Series

SUMMARY:Concierto Guadalupano
DESCRIPTION:Come and sing with us to celebrate one of Mexico’s high holidays for the season. \nIn Mexico\, the pilgrimages and the tradition of singing and dancing to the Virgin of Tepeyac (aka Our Lady of Guadalupe) transcends religion; it is a symbol of Mexican Culture that predates Christianity and dates back to the worship of mother goddess Tonantzin. The concert will include a selection of Aztec dances\, Catholic chants\, and Regional “rancheras” and “son jarocho” observant of the holiday. This is a once-a-year opportunity to hear the ensemble perform this material. Special guest: Irekani Chávez of the group Son Monarcas. \nFree and open to the public.
