Center Stage, a celebration of performing arts in Sonoma County, brought to you by the Green Music Center at Sonoma State University.
It’s Leap Year! And our bonus day falls on a Saturday. Make the most of an extra Saturday by spending it at the Green! Las Cafeteras are remixing roots music with traditional son jarocho instruments. Their Afro-Mexican beats, rhythms, and rhymes deliver inspiring stories to build bridges between cultures and communities, and create ‘a world where many worlds fit.’
Leap Day will also include food trucks, face painters, a balloon artist, workshops/activities (k-12), and an on-stage workshop with Play Marimba!. Play Marimba! uses enormous African marimbas to play beautiful songs from around the world. Founded at Loma Vista Immersion Academy in Petaluma, the program offers a joyful music making experience for children, teens, and adults.
Pat Kerrigan from KSRO talks with Executive Director Jacob Yarrow about what to expect from the day’s festivities.
