Our live music family concerts invite young children and families to make joyful 'conexions' through the universal language of music. Expect a fun-filled and unique bilingual and cultural experience of age appropriate songs, movements, and finger plays in Spanish and English with real instruments like guitar and cajón peruano! The interactive concert is tailor-designed for both non-Spanish speaking families and Spanish speaking families alike! Many families continue making musical 'conexions' with the Musical Conexion Songbook and music made available to all participants! Cote Godoy of Chile and Kelsi Lee of Indiana are active musicians and experienced educators who do a fantastic job of nurturing a fun, accepting, encouraging and inclusive atmosphere for everyone!
"Their energy is so calm and welcoming and fun—it reminded me of Mr. Roger’s gentleness mixed with Raffi’s silly songs but in Spanish. Their energy works so well for immersing the audience in Spanish while still being incredibly accessible. It was like magic. SOOO good!" -Librarian, Allen Co. Public Library, IN
