Spring Fling is our festive springtime afternoon party / harp concert / fundraiser to support the Valeria Finzi Scholarship fund!

We will gather again in the gardens of Duquessa McGuffin's elegant residence, Chateau Les Fleurs, in La Cañada Flintridge.  This year, we are celebrating Cinco de Mayo with a Mexican theme!

We will enjoy performances by the talented young harp students who are this year's Finzi Scholarship recipients (Colin Hong, Grace Hong, Joshua Ho and Chloe Bang); as well as guest artist Jessica Brizuela with Mexican-American vocalists Melinda Garcia and Bella Macias, who will give an entertaining performance highlighting some of the classics and greats of Mexico including bolero, mariachi rancheros, cumbia of Selena, music of Disney/Pixar's Coco, original music and more!

Plus there will be a raffle, and a self-serve taco bar!
