The College of Fine Arts/Clark County partnership, Arts in the Center, celebrates Cinco de Mayo (May 5) at 7 p.m. with UNLV's Mariachi Revolucion in the first Mariachi Extravaganza at The Composers Room, 953 E. Sahara Ave. Admission is free and a complimentary buffet is available for those who RSVP.
UNLV's own Mariachi Revolucion makes their debut concert performance hot off of their Mariachi Extravaganza performance with famed musician Jonathan Palomar. Mariachi Revolucion will perform all the hits, welcoming the students of Mariachi Joya from Las Vegas High School to open the performance.
While it is the debut concert for students of Mariachi Revolucion, members of the band - as well as members of Mariachi Joya - have performed on some of the world’s biggest stages both locally and nationally, including The Smith Center, Allegiant Stadium and The White House.
Arts in the Center features a varied array of music, visual arts, film, and theatre events through June 4, all of which are free and open to the public.
Arts in the Center is a public demonstration of a partnership that has been forged between Clark County and UNLV’s College of Fine Arts. Its purpose is to expand the reach of arts programming created at UNLV while providing free quality arts programming to the community at large.
