COVID-19 CORONAVIRUS UPDATE
Out of an abundance of caution and to align with current public health
recommendations regarding COVID-19, we’ve made the difficult decision to
cancel all programs and performances at Red Poppy Art House through
April 15. We will be in touch with anyone who has purchased tickets and we will
refund you.
This is a very difficult time for many so let us all make sure to share
kindness and a smile and take good care of each other.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Pedro Pastrana grew up playing Puerto Rico’s national instrument cuatro. His passion to explore led him to move out of Puerto Rico and travel to different countries allowing him to discover other musical cultures. After years as a sideman, all of these collaborations helped him find his own voice. Rooted in folk music, Pedro brings his dynamism and shows the versatility of the instrument in contemporary music.
Born in Chiapas, Mexico, Miguelito Martinez studied music and transversal flute at the University of Science and Art in Chiapas and La Universidad Veracruzana, with training in Kodály and Orff. He is the founding director of the Mexican-Caribbean ensemble Corazon Sur and the co-director of Balamcoatl – a collaborative project focused on promoting the rich music and dance traditions of the indigenous people of Mexico.
