The Instruments and Music of Arizona’s Pioneers:  A Time Capsule Opened

January 8, 2015 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm

Free

The story of our state is not complete without music. This interactive program will focus on the various genres of music that reflect the milieu and personalities of Arizona’s diverse immigrants.  Using musical instruments and stories, audience members will be presented an artistic tableau of our past: heroes, villains, and the immigrants who passed through and settled in Arizona. From the skilled hands of Craváth, the audience will be treated to sounds that once came from town squares, hogans, and dance halls throughout our great state.
