About Us
Our mission is to foster a vibrant community dedicated to the preservation, appreciation, and advancement of the rich tradition of Mariachi music. We are committed to creating an inclusive space where students from VanderCook College of Music and Illinois Institute of Technology come together to explore, learn, and celebrate the artistry of Mariachi. Through comprehensive educational programs, immersive workshops, and collaborative performances, we strive to deepen our understanding of Mariachi music's cultural significance and technical intricacies. Our aim is not only to cultivate musicianship but also to instill a profound appreciation for the historical and cultural roots embedded within each note and lyric. Guided by principles of respect, unity, and diversity, we seek to empower our members to embrace their individual talents while working harmoniously within an ensemble setting. By embracing a spirit of inclusivity, we ensure that every voice is heard and every perspective valued, enriching our collective learning experience.
