<p class="font_8"><strong>Street Symphony: Bach, Mariachi &amp; Community</strong></p>
<p class="font_8"><br></p>
<p class="font_8">Experience the powerful work of Street Symphony at Sierra Madre Playhouse, where music becomes a bridge to connection, healing, and hope.<br>
<br>
Join us for an unforgettable evening of music and story with <strong>Street Symphony</strong>, a collective of world-class musicians dedicated to bringing the transformative power of live performance to people experiencing homelessness, incarceration, and other forms of extreme marginalization. Led by violinist and MacArthur Fellow <strong>Vijay Gupta</strong>, this performance features members of Street Symphony alongside special guests from Los Angeles’s vibrant musical community.</p>
<p class="font_8"><br></p>
<p class="font_8">The centerpiece of the evening will be a performance of <strong>J.S. Bach’s</strong> <strong>Cantata BWV 82 “Ich habe</strong> <strong>genug”</strong>, with a community narrator offering a contemporary reflection woven between the music’s timeless arias and recitatives.</p>
<p class="font_8"><br></p>
<p class="font_8">The program also features the electrifying all-women mariachi ensemble <strong>Las Chorizeras</strong>, led by vocalist <strong>Nancy Sanchez</strong>, bringing their signature blend of tradition, virtuosity, and spirit.</p>
<p class="font_8"><br></p>
<p class="font_8">This is a rare opportunity to experience classical, mariachi, and community-rooted music in dialogue—sharing the stage, telling stories, and celebrating music’s power to connect across cultures and experiences.<br>
<br>
Free from orchestral formality, this concert embraces warmth and immediacy, breaking the fourth wall to draw the audience into a shared experience. Every artist on stage is dedicated to using music as a force for dignity, renewal, and community — on stage, on the street, and everywhere in between.<br>
<br>
Street Symphony has transformed the lives of Los Angeles’ homeless and incarcerated communities by bringing world-class music directly into Skid Row shelters, clinics, and LA County jails.<br>
<br>
By joining us for this inspiring evening, you’ll directly support Street Symphony’s mission, helping them continue their vital work of bringing transformative music and connection to those who need it most.</p>
