Spanning the Performing Arts Center and Jacob Brown Auditorium, the event promises to be two days filled with music.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Organized by TSC music instructor and program administrator Avigai Gonzalez, the festival will host an array of competitions, informative workshops, and exciting performances to promote a greater awareness of the benefits that music can introduce\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">into<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0the lives of those who engage with it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When asked what to expect from the festival, Gonzalez enthusiastically replied, \u201cTwo days full of music, non-stop. From the morning to evening on Friday and Saturday. Every step of the way, you should expect to hear people competing, teaching, or performing music at any given moment.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Throughout the two-day event, there will be a series of group and vocal performance competitions involving participants from middle and high schools across Texas. Workshops will also be hosted throughout both days so that student performers will have opportunities to further hone their skills with their instruments of choice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Finally, two Grand Performances will cap off each day, featuring live sets from Mariachi Juvenil Atzlan, Mariachi UTRGV Atzlan, and Mariachi Sol de Mexico de Jose Hernandez.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To Gonzalez, putting together an event such as this achieves her goal of helping to spread awareness and appreciation for this music to new audiences. In her experience, the best way to inspire is through immersion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cI grew up in a family immersed in cultural music,\u201d said Gonzalez. \u201cMy father was a composer and played Mariachi Norte\u00f1o, so we grew up listening to his music nearly\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">every day<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0This immersion fostered a genuine love for\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Mariachi<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, which further developed into a mission to continue studying music with the hope of inspiring others to cultivate an interest in it. \u201cI\u2019ve been studying and performing music for most of my life, but I chose to get my master\u2019s degree in education because I wanted to put myself in a position to help a new generation of young people develop a love for this music.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Because of her background, there is also a genuine desire to celebrate the rich cultural history of Mariachi music. Gonzalez feels that the power of Mariachi music extends past being a genre of music, seeing it as a source of empowerment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cRepresenting the\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">traje<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">mariachi<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0in the field means a lot to me.
