A spirited holiday celebration
A joyful concert experience featuring music from the cathedrals of Mexico and beyond. Fusing Old World Baroque traditions with New World rhythms and dance, these festive works showcase the broad range of cultures and music in the 17th-century Americas. With vocals, percussion and the energy of Mercury, this will truly be a holiday celebration to remember.
This concert is made possible in part by the Houston Endowment and the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance.

Círculo de lectura activa.
La lectura nos permite ver el mundo de una manera distinta, encontrar ese pedazo en el universo que nos hace falta. Los libros nos muestran que se puede encontrar el amor en un sonido o en una flor.
El círculo está centrado en la lectura y análisis de textos de ficción en español. El ejercicio del círculo literario pretende brindar nociones prácticas que permitan el acercamiento crítico a géneros literarios en español.
El ejercicio de leer nos pertenece a todos, hayamos o no estudiado formalmente.
Continuamos en febrero con nuestra reunión del círculo de lectura activa con el libro “Aura” de Carlos Fuentes, el sábado 15 de febrero, estaremos charlando y compartiendo apreciaciones sobre este libro.

More about Alegría:
Alegría (‘joy’ in Spanish) takes audiences at the heart of a once glorious kingdom now in decay led by the king’s fool and a dusty aristocracy. Carried by an intangible wind of change, an emerging movement from the streets strives to shake this established order, instilling hope and renewal to bring light and harmony to their world. With its joyful spirit, Alegría is a vital, energizing force driven by a thirst for a brighter tomorrow.
In true Cirque du Soleil fashion, Alegría unfolds soul-touching clown antics and remarkable acrobatic performances in a whimsical and immersive visual universe. Perched at the top of the Big Top, gymnasts fly from one High Bar to the next, and leap into the void to reach the hands of mighty catchers suspended on a cradle swing. Using all her limbs, an artist dazzles with her ability to spin and twirl a multitude of hoops while contorting her body with otherworldly ease. Other Jaw-dropping highlights include a daredevil Fire Knife Dancer eating, breathing, touching and juggling with flames; a sublime couple on Aerial Straps soaring through a delicate snowstorm; and fourteen tumblers bouncing off a Powertrack (trampoline tracks) embedded into the stage to perform crisscrossing series of daring somersaults.
