Carlisle Floyd, arguably the greatest of America’s 20th Century opera composers, adapts to the operatic stage Nobel Prize Winning John Steinbeck’s powerful novella detailing a tragic story of two displaced migrant ranch workers in California during the Great Depression. Their dream of owning their own land one day ends instead in tragedy. The drama and powerful music will grip your heartstrings, and the opera’s plea for compassion and hope is as timely now as when John Steinbeck wrote this novella in 1935. In the opinion of the late composer himself, this is his greatest operatic achievement.

Filipino Barrio Festa
Celebrating Filipinx American History Month through Art, Food, Music, Dance,
History, and Culture. October officially marks Filipino American History
Month in the United States. October’s significance as Filipino American
History Month is due to the first recorded presence of Filipinos in the
continental United States when on October 18, 1587, “Luzones Indios” came
ashore from the Spanish galleon Nuestra Senora de Esparanza and landed at
what is now Morro Bay, California. In November of 2009, both the United
States House of Representatives and Senate passed laws – House Resolution
780 and Senate Resolution 298 respectively, officially recognizing October
as Filipino American History Month in the United States.
