LITTLE BAFICI IN CONCERT

One of the program highlights of the 2011 “Little Bafici”—already coming to an end—is happening today, Saturday, in the afternoon, starting at 6.00pm at Cine Teatro 25 de Mayo in Villa Urquiza (a few meters away from the intersection of Triunvirato and Olazábal). “Plácido y los refranes animados” is the name of a series of animated shorts which will be featured with live music played by the Children and Youth Orchestras of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires (photo), written and directed by Gabriel Chwjonik. Important notice: tickets for the show can be picked up at the theater box-office as of 11.00 am.

The Children and Youth Orchestras is a community program that involves and benefits the families and their social context: the main objective is to promote certain cultural goods and bring them closer to the traditionally excluded social sectors, and foster participation of children and youth, not only in terms of musical training but also as an effective form of individual and collective learning. The program began in October 1998 with 30 children and nowadays has 16 orchestras.
