The annual festival
of Carnival has its roots in European pagan and Roman Catholic
traditions. Spanish colonists brought the festival to Latin America, where
African immigrants added colorful dances and tribal rhythms. The festival is a
celebratory fusion of cultures and music that takes place in late February or
early March, just before the liturgical period of Lent.
Join us for our next Latin-Baroque
Fusion concert, featuring music associated with Carnival and other celebratory
events, featuring Venezuelan virtuoso
harpist,
Eduardo Betancourt.
