Classical fusion music turns the chapter at Jackson Heights Library

The Villalobos Brothers present “Redefining Latin Music” at Jackson Heights Library for two shows on July 13.

The performance includes a Q&A after each performance.

The concert is part of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts summer program and is recommended for children 5 years and older.

Villalobos Brothers, July 13, at 2 to 3 pm and 4 to 5 pm. Free.
