Marjorie Luke Theatre update for Feb. 26 — La Patronal performing on March 10

The Marjorie Luke Theatre and UCSB Arts & Lectures present
La Patronal, a unique brass band from Lima, Peru, performs for FREE as part of the Viva el Arte SB family concert series. Rooted in the tradition of fiestas populares, or town fairs, common in rural villages across Latin America, La Patronal honors these gatherings, which celebrate tradition through fireworks, dancing, and religious images. La Patronal members are direct descendants of rural musicians from Peru, and use this knowledge of folk culture in combination with their formal music studies to preserve their heritage. Their lively performances encourage audience participation and dancing with contagious percussion and vibrant brass and winds. For more info please visit www.facebook.com/vivaelartesb.
