SCHOOL ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS
Lorena Garay and SURCARI would be pleased to
bring their musical program to your educational institution. This colorful
program will provide students with an opportunity to actively participate with
the musicians during the presentation.
For many years, Lorena, Eugenio, and Tany have been
directing a series of workshops and seminars - for groups ranking from
elementary school through college level - in the United States, South America,
and Europe.
Their school presentations are fun, engaging ways
to experience the irresistible beat of Latin music and learn about the Spanish
Caribbean, the Andes, Spain, México, and the countries of Central and South
America.
Children and adults love it when they bring their
extensive collection of musical instruments and unusual sound effects that
imitate the sounds of the rainforest.
