Dear Friends,

It is with very much excitement that Calpulli Mexican Dance Company approaches its upcoming performances at Queens Theatre in the Park on September 27th and 28th. Months of preparation are bringing together the efforts of our artistic staff- Daniel, Martha, Noemy, Sinuh
é, and Alberto. I hope you will all be able to join us to enjoy their creations.

The performances mark Calpulli's 5th anniversary as an arts organization, and its 5th consecutive year collaborating with Queens Theatre in the Park. Over 5 years, the organization has achieved many milestones with its touring company, arts education programs, and community outreach activities.

Here is a brief list of accomplishments and milestones along with the 5 images representing the 5 years of Calpulli at Queens Theatre in the Park, in New York City, and as part of the growing Mexican community in the USA.

Thank you as always for your support. We'll see you at Queens Theatre in the Park!

Sincerely,
Juan Castaño
Managing Director

Calpulli performances just around the corner...

Tickets are going fast for Calpulli’s performances at Queens Theatre in the Park. In 2007, when the show sold out, there was an unfortunate line of last-minute buyers. We certainly don’t want any of our friends to be in that line this year. Use the following link to Purchase your tickets today!

The exciting program was set months ago and includes the following: debut of Mexika Tiawi, Noches de Veracruz, Retratos y Corridos, debut of Tarahumara, Mi huasteca, Norte, and Sones jalicienses.

In a special sneak peek, the following links showcase the music for Mexika Tiawi and Tarahumara. The songs are original compositions based on collaborations between Daniel Jáquez and Sinuhé Padilla.
