As the grand finale of the UCCA season, Elena Casanova returns to Ukiah to perform a multi-media concert of music from her native Cuba.

Long a Ukiah favorite, the brilliant piano virtuoso, Elena Casanova, has assembled an exciting multi-media concert around her performances of music evoking the flavor of Cuba from years gone by.

Incorporating guest artists, graphic art and video projections, lighting and narration, she will immerse us in the riches of the popular art music by composers from her native island. Elena’s passion for this music grew from the beginning of her conservatory studies in Havana at the age of seven and has continued in performance and recordings throughout her career.

Join her to celebrate this lovely, lyrical and lively musical tradition so rarely heard outside of Cuba.

New World String Project performs Celtic, Nordic, and American traditional and original music on an exciting variety of exotic instruments. 

The New World String Project presents a lush blend of extraordinary instruments and heartwarming music in the Celtic, Nordic and American folk traditions.

It features John Weed (fiddle), Aryeh Frankfurter (nyckelharpa, fiddle, and Celtic harp), Lisa Lynne (cittern, Celtic harp and percussion), and Stuart Mason (guitar, bouzouki).  These four highly skilled and well-known multi-instrumentalists — two veteran duo acts — have joined forces to create an exciting weave of traditional world music.

Ancient and modern sounds mingle freely on Swedish nyckelharpa, Celtic harp, fiddle, guitar, cittern, bouzouki, and vocals with traditional ballads newly arranged.

Please join us for a closing reception of our 50th Anniversary Exhibit: Excellence in Education.

Open to the community; and current and past students, staff, faculty, and board members.

Light refreshments will be served.
