Fiestango at the Library

It is with great pleasure that we have Fiestango coming to the library on Sunday, March 7 at 2:00 p.m.  This was all possible thanks to a grant that we received from Jeunesse Musicale to help bring this group to the library.  Every Spring Break, Jeunesse Musicale puts out several different shows.  This year we chose Fiestango because of the magical quality that will inspire kids' imaginations.

So, what is Fiestango about?  Here is a blurb from the Jeunesse Musicale site:
Three mischievous cousins receive a large trunk in the mail. Inside, they find all manner of amazing objects, including… an old diary belonging to the young and mysterious Mercedes. Just for fun, they decide to act out the story of Mercedes, who spent her life travelling with this trunk in tow, filling it with souvenirs. Immersing themselves in the narrative, the three cousins rediscover and invent their own fantastic adventures that lead them to learn about the history of the tango, a style of music and dance they adore. But a question remains unanswered: Just how did this mysterious trunk make its way into their hands?

Tickets are 5$ and can be purchased at the main desk at the library.  Questions?  Call the children's desk at 514-485-6900 ext.4111
