SPECIAL CONCERT AND WORKSHOP WITH MAESTRO HARPIST ALBERTO DE LA ROSA AND TLEN-HUICANI



BREAKING NEWS! AN OCCTAC SPECIAL EVENT ON AUGUST 29TH, 2007 FROM 6 -9 PM.

MAESTRO ALBERTO DE LA ROSA AND HIS GROUP TLEN HUICANI FROM VERACRUZ, JALAPA, WILL VISIT THE OC CHILDREN'S THERAPEUTIC ARTS CENTER TO CONDUCT A SPECIAL WORKSHOP AND JAM SESSION WITH OUR HARP STUDENTS.

"From the capital city of Veracruz, Jalapa, Tlen-Huicani (pronounced wee-KAH-ne) is one of the most faithful interpreters of the traditional folk music of that state and also that of much of Latin America.
Tlen-Huicani, which means "the singers" in the indigenous Indian language of Nahuatl, has taken the beautiful "harpa jarocha" or folk harp, and has made it the centerpiece of their music.
Founded in 1973, the group was named best folk group in Mexico by the union of music and theater critics. Group director, Alberto de la Rosa, is one of the most respected musicians in all of Mexico, and is considered among the most outstanding folk harpists in the world. In 2003 the group celebrated another landmark, when they completed 30 years of unforgettable music. With all the many types of music the group has mastered, a program of Tlen-Huicani is like taking a musical journey through Mexico and South America."


WE NEED MORE HARPS FOR ALL THE STUDENTS CURRENTLY ON THE WAITING LIST WHO WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM AND TLEN HUICANI WILL PLAY TO HELP US RAISE FUNDS.

PLEASE DON'T MISS THIS BEAUTIFUL EVENT.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ON AUGUST 29TH, 2007 AT OCCTAC,

THis is a great idea. OCCTAC on a Blog. We should create a place for OCCTAC on FACEBOOK. WE could have a location for an occtac staff group. Its a natural place to find colleges students and other organizations who might want to volunteer from the Orange County area.
The face book is so easy to use even Dr. Ana could up load or link a video, photos,events announcesments. Specific items can be walled off for only staff or created for the public to see. I added the Parent Fundraiser for Sept and I already got an email from someone who wants to know more.

I have a callendar on my Facebook called 30 boxes that can sync with my Out look. It can also be open or closed to friends or the public.

I missed the August Announcement because I had to move my PC for a few days. Now I have you on my Yahoo reader page.

A few more suggestions:

turn on the other RSS features. some people have yahoo or google readers.
Create a Blog roll and put the OCCTAC link on it.
There will be other things to link to the blog in the future. i.e. organizations that support us.

When are we going to update the music link on the main OCCTAC page? Just wondering.

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news , world news , and news about the economy April 23rd, 2010. NBC Nightly News featured OCCTAC student Stefanie Diaz and instructor Renee Rulon Cortez in the "Making A Difference" segment on their Friday night national broadcast. For all of us who have known Stefanie and her family for many years it was an emotional moment. It was wonderful to see how far Stefanie has come in the 9 years she has received therapeutic art classes at our center.
