DACAMERA Young Artists present free Music Encounters at Harris County Libraries
CULTURAL SNAPSHOTS
Explore cultures around the world, culminating in an activity that asks participants to examine and share aspects of their culture with other participants.
DACAMERA Music Encounters have been developed as part of an initiative that brings classical music and jazz into classrooms throughout Houston, connecting music with the core curriculum. The mission of the program is to establish creative learning environments that support the Texas Essential Knowledge Skills (TEKS) by promoting collaboration between artists, students and classroom teachers.
