The concert begins at 2 p.m. with a short performance by students involved in the Philharmonic's educational program called the Young Musician Initiative (YMI). The program is based on the worldwide music education/community involvement program El Sistema. The 40 students from Dolores Gonzales Elementary, who participate in classes two hours a day, four days a week, 24 weeks a year, will sing and perform on instruments.
The New Mexico Philharmonic, under the direction of Stuart Chafetz, will perform a variety of beautiful and familiar classical music to celebrate and honor all mothers. The concert will last approximately one hour and is included with regular Zoo admission.
