LCC to serenade moms in concert Sunday

 

A special musical serenade will honor moms during the 15th annual Laredo Community College Mother’s Day Concert on Sunday, May 8.

Mothers and their families are invited to attend the concert, which begins at 3 p.m. in the Guadalupe and Lilia Martinez Fine Arts Center theater.  Admission is free and open to the public.  The first 200 moms will receive a free corsage.

The event is hosted by the LCC Music and Dance Department in association with the City of Laredo.

The concert extravaganza will feature five college performance ensembles, including the Spanish Traditional Group, Mixed Choir, Ballet Folklorico, Flamenco Company and Mariachi Palomino.

Dr. Joseph C. Crabtree, LCC Music and Dance Department chairperson, said that the college is pleased to present this important concert to the community.

“Mothers help shape the lives of their children and support the family in so many ways,” Crabtree explained.  “In Laredo, the serenata is a time-honored tradition used to express our love and appreciation for mothers.  Laredo Community College is proud to promote and preserve this important cultural heritage and looks forward to hosting this musical performance for the benefit of our community.

   “The LCC Mother’s Day Concert will be a special afternoon for moms and their families to spend together.  We hope to see many attend this family-friendly concert,” Crabtree said.
