The lessons learned by our children by preparing and performing in the Festival are 21st century necessary lessons. Lessons in discipline, the basics of collaboration, respect, order, creativity, problem solving, teamwork, and conquering fears are lessons that can only be learned by doing. They don’t come in any book.

Festival of the Arts

Our Festival of the Arts has always been a celebration of the heart of our philosophy. From the first Festival in Havana to the most recent one in 2012, the stage has come alive with the talents of our young artists. Many of us have vivid memories of Conchita’s rhythm band comprised of hundreds of children who had learned lessons of the joy of music, the value of hard work, and the satisfaction of cooperation. We remember the timbre of the castanets under Rosita Segovia’s direction and Conchita’s soldaditos, and watching the evolution of dancers from novice to professional. As audience members or musicians and dancers, we have been a part of this very important facet of Conchita’s legacy.

In this our 80th celebration each one of us should be there to honor who we are and what we do. Whether your child is on the stage or in the audience, he is part of the evening’s celebration and part of Conchita's legacy. Plan to celebrate with us.

Tickets go on sale Friday, May 1, at 3:00 p.m.

*There will be Saturday rehearsals at the school on Saturday, May 17 and May 31 for all participants. Please mark your calendars.
