Angel Ciro Silvestre García

Our 2018 artist was Angel Ciro Silvestre García, Artistic Director of the Ballet Folklórico de la Universidad Veracruzana in Xalapa, México. Maestro Silvestre García spent a week in residency working with Los Lupeños dancers to recreate an indigenous wedding, Boda en Chicontepec, which debuted at our TRIBUTO concert in September, 2018. Maestro Silvestre García also gave a public workshop and multiple public lectures about the traditions of his home state Veracruz.

This Exchange was sponsored by an Artist Exchange grant from the City of San José Office of Cultural Affairs.
