Outreach Events

*No events are scheduled at this time. Keep posted for an outreach community concert scheduled for Friday, May 6 OR Monday, May 9, 2010 in tandem with LEAF’s 30th Festival CELEBRATION!*

LEAF brings many international and acclaimed artists to its bi-annual festival every May & October. Through LEAF in Schools & Streets, many of the artists also REACH OUT to our local community through workshops, residencies, and enrichment programs. We coordinate special community outreach concerts EVERY FESTIVAL that are free or very low-cost to keep our programs ACCESSIBLE for YOUTH & MORE in our community. These events are typically held at Orange Peel, our collaborating partner that also believes strongly in creating arts and cultural opportunities for school groups, families and the general community. These events are focused on bringing DIVERSE arts & music EXPERIENCES that are educational & interactive to those that might otherwise not be reached.

Past community outreach programs have included:

Sones de México Ensemble
The Lee Boys
Terrance Simien & the Zydeco Experience
Vieux Farka Toure
