Mariachi Meets Classical

“My favorite part of the experience was getting to play great music alongside my peers and having it featured on the album. The arrangements were very well done, and I think knowing that I was part of making a great recording project brings a sense of satisfaction.” - Abraham Flannigan (double bass)

“Since 2015, we have presented over 140 concerts and events in Southern Nevada, making us one of the largest programmers of the performing arts. Nevertheless, the UNIDOS project has taken our work and community standing to new levels. It's allowed us to integrate with students and musicians of various ethnic and musical cultures, while collaborating on an incredibly impressive project. The overall result is a professional recording that could have been released by any major professional mariachi or symphony. The recording is a testament to the musical talent of our community, and how much youth can achieve when they are inspired, motivated, and working collectively to attain their dreams.” -Yunior Lopez (Music Director / Project Coordinator)

“This is a project that has become very special within our organization and the overall community. The documented results, through our professional recording, is a testament to the possibilities of our youth. With that in mind, we would love to be able to sustain this project even if it's on a seasonal basis.”
