Sones de Mexico

Sones de Mexico's busy residency at the BCPA began on Thursday morning, with a Student Spotlight Series performance for approximately 700 schoolchildren. The kids loved it! A mix of music, dance, and enthusiastic song, Sones de Mexico played music representative of all of Mexico's regions on a collection of over 25 authentic instruments.

Next up for them was a Thursday afternoon workshop for area educators, providing instruction in bilingual and dual language education, as well as using Mexican traditional music and dance as teaching tools.

On Friday, Sones began their day out in the community, performing two mini-performances of their “La Danza del Sol,” (“Dance of the Sun”) at Brigham and Sheridan elementary schools in Bloomington.

Then came their mainstage performance which highlighted this Grammy-nominated ensemble's tremendous range and virtuosity.

Thanks again to State Farm Bank for supporting these wonderful performers.
