The following are currently scheduled to perform:

| Made possible by a grant from the
Los Angeles
City Cultural Affairs Department |
 |
The appearance of Mariachi Sol de Mexico de Jose
Hernandez is sponsored by the Los
Angeles County Arts Commission and the Recording
Industries’ Music Performance Fund through
the assistance of the Professional Musicians Union
Local 47. The Music Performance Fund is supported by
retail music royalties, which have suffered from the
effects of illegal Internet downloading. Music piracy
is an issue that impacts the future of the Fund and
the communities it serves. Your awareness and support
will ensure that these free concerts will continue.
