Join us to see Mariachi Para Todos and Kick Off Amplify Austin
Please join us on Wednesday, March 2nd from 6-8pm to see our intergenerational ensemble, Mariachi Para Todos, in rehearsal and performance. This is a chance to meet with teaching artists, participants, and Austin Soundwaves staff to find out more about MPT, our work in community ensembles, and learn about the intergenerational learning philosophy.
In celebration of Amplify Austin, our city’s 24-hour day of giving, we will live-stream the performance and provide free tacos and Austin Soundwaves swag from 6-7pm. Our goal is to raise $15,000 in 24 hours in order to keep our community music programs free for all.
To attend, please visit this Eventbrite link and RSVP by noon on Tuesday, March 1st. This event will take place on the campus of East Austin College Prep (5800 E Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd).
