PAL In The Parks - Family Concert Series - 08/20/22

Celebrate world cultures and diversity through the arts with PAL – Family Concerts in the Parks. Performance, Arts and Learning come together in a family-friendly series of music, dance, and arts education brought to you by Rhythmix, in partnership with the City of Alameda’s Recreation and Park Department.

The inaugural season of PAL in the Parks launches this summer featuring The Chinyakare Ensemble.

RSVP is encouraged

The Chinyakare Ensemble performs Saturday, August 20th from 12-1pm at Jean Sweeney Park. Chinyakare provides audiences with a glimpse of the beauty, excitement, and spirit of traditional African dance and song. A family of musicians, dancers and teachers, the Chinyakare Ensemble is committed to preserving and sharing traditional Zimbabwean culture, promoting community building and education through music and dance. Chinyakare presents an electrifying performance of music, songs and dance weaving colorful stories that show scenes from everyday life, while teaching important life lessons, such as goal-setting, perseverance, and thankfulness.

Rhythmix believes that exposure to the arts can be a transformative experience and a catalyst for cultural celebration. It is hoped these multi-talented ensembles performing for PAL in the Parks Family Concerts can help instill a sense of pride in heritage, identity and self-expression for all ages. PAL in the Parks is also intended to expand the reach of the Rhythmix PAL – Performance, Art & Learning program (currently offered exclusively to elementary schools in Alameda and Alameda County), to bring the power of music, dance, culture and arts education directly to YOU and your family!

Admission is FREE! Bring the whole family!
