A Tradition for More than 80 Years... this Saturday.

CONCHITA ESPINOSA CONSERVATORY OF THE ARTS IS PRESENTING ITS 2010 FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS and this is very special.

Miami, FL- (May 14, 2010). On Saturday, June 5th at 7:00 p.m. Conchita Espinosa Conservatory of the Arts will be presenting its “2010 Festival of the Arts” at the Miami-Dade County Auditorium. This performance, which takes place every two years with over 500 students participating, has become a very dear tradition since its founder, Cuban educator Conchita Espinosa, presented the first Festival in Havana in 1934 as a way to showcase, in a single performance, the many talents of her Conservatory’s young artists.

Part One of “Festival 2010” focuses on a trip through the cultural highlights of New York City. The “visit” comes to life through theatre, dance and music. Part Two is a celebration of Broadway musicals. Since the early 1960s, “Festival” has been a labor of love in which faculty and staff of both, the Conservatory and the Conchita Espinosa Academy (CEA) participate. Each Festival is a unique performance with its own theme, and from start to finish, the hard work, and dedication of the Conservatory’s outstanding faculty of renowned artists is evident in every number.
