CANTATICA presents Viva Musica!
A Celebration of Latin American Music
A truly unique and engaging chamber ensemble, CANTATICA brings to the Fall Festival of the Arts a wonderful array of Latin American music— classical, contemporary, folk and popular. Music from Cuba, Mexico, South America and the United States performed by chamber choir, solo voices, flute, strings, piano and percussion.
James Joyce's "The Dead"
The Fall Festival of the Arts is proud to present the Tony Award winning musical, The Dead, an adaptation of James Joyce’s gorgeous and compelling short story, directed by John Gancar. During a convivial celebration of Epiphany, the vividly drawn characters find their own epiphanies of their mortality and of the difficulties of truly knowing even those who are closest to us.
