Music, Fashion and Fun Events
A Fine Wine List
"The perfect pairing between food and wine makes your meal a fabulous experience."
by Polly G. Vicars
Becas Vallarta members are at full speed planning three events that will delight you as well as provide the funds to continue the education for three hundred bright young Vallartenses students of great ability and few financial resources.
Classical music lovers are in for an incredible evening with Vallarta’s own musicians: father Mario Blanco on the guitar and daughter Adriana Martinez on the piano. Mario, entirely self-taught, will embark on one of his first ventures into classical music with his talented daughter alongside. Studying for a Bachelor of Music as a concert pianist with Dr. Anatoli Zatin, while attending classes with various Russian teachers at the University of Colima, daughter Adriana recently soloed to much acclaim with the Institutes’s chamber orchestra.
The 7:00 p.m. Friday, February 12, 2010 program was planned by Becas members Cecile and Rod Scriban in conjunction with the artists. It will feature both guitar and piano solos as well as a complete presentation of duets. Fabulous selections from composers Antonio Rovira, Juan de Dios Filiberto, Carlos Gardel, Ariel Ramirez, Bach, Mozart, Handel and Ponce will fill the sea scented air of the Patio Los Arcos at Club Regina in the Marina for the evening's Valentine Recital Under the Stars.
Tickets are $200 pesos in advance and $250 pesos at the door. You may reserve your tickets with Cecile Scriban at 223-4606 or celiatsascri@hotmail.com or Polly Vicars at 223-1371 or phvicars@gmail.com or Ricardo Murrieta at 224-9966 or blm@prodigy.net.mx or Mario Blanco at 293-1038 or marioblanco@prodigy.net.mx.
