June in a Box

Date & Time: 
Thu, 11/10/2011 - 20:00

In June in a Box an old corrido comes to life, recounting the sensational 1934 kidnapping of June Robles, child of a wealthy immigrant family from Tucson. As an old woman, June relives the childhood events she survived but never escaped - helped by a pair of trickster coyotes, and the little girl inside her. This magical poem to innocence, to memory, and the force that heals life's scars features a jazz-inflected score, performed live.

Angels Among Us: A Festival of Plays

Music to Our Ears

By Linda Peterson

How does a musician know he or she is a musician? Here’s one gauge: musicians make music. Music has always been an important part of Saint Mary’s — from the Jazz Band to the all community choir to visiting groups performing in the Chapel. But new partnerships with the Contra Costa Chamber Orchestra (CCCO) and the Diablo Wind Symphony (DWS) mean music-loving Gaels have assets any musician would welcome — more venues, more professional colleagues and more audiences.
