The program will highlight mariachi music and traditional ballet folklórico grounded in the cultural and spiritual traditions observed across Mexico.

Mariachi Juvenil Aztlán, founded by Dr. Dahlia Guerra and co-directed by Francisco Loera, continues to be recognized as one of the nation’s leading collegiate mariachi ensembles.
