FROM LCAC EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ALFREDO REYES

Mi Gente,

On behalf of the LCAC Board and Team, thank you for being the wind at our back and believing in the Power of Comunidad! I am continuously inspired by and proud of all of the resilience, love and support that the LCAC benefits from across the city, the state, and the nation.

The BEST part: WE ARE JUST GETTING STARTED! Join us at one of our Arte + Wellness workshops with Maestro, Carlos Castañeda, and at the Viva Southwest Mariachi Festival!

Have a safe summer!

Un abrazo,

Alfredo

LA SANTA CECILIA

HEADLINING THE VIVA SOUTHWEST MARIACHI FESTIVAL

The LCAC and the MSU Denver Music Department proudly announce that the 2024 VSMF is returning to Levitt Pavilion Denver on September 20. Join us for a spectacular night of Mariachi as we celebrate the best youth talent across the state with the Mariachi Estelares and La Santa Cecilia.

La Santa Cecilia is a musical phenomenon that defies musical and cultural boundaries. With a captivating sound, they perform songs about love, loss, and everyday struggles. The band has become the voice of a new bi-cultural generation in the US, fully immersed in modern music but still close to their Mexican and Latin American roots.
