Can I bring 123 Andrés to my school?
Whether you want to schedule visits to multiple campuses, a family concert for the whole school district, or you are an individual school or PTO/ PTA, we would love to have 123 Andrés visit your students and families!
Where is 123 Andrés located? Will Andrés and Christina travel to my school? They travel all over the US and Latin America. In the past two years alone, they have performed for students in the Greater DC-area, Illinois, Texas, California, and New York… just to name a few places!
What space do we need for an assembly or family concert? Schools hold events in the auditorium, cafetorium, or other multi-purpose space. School districts may choose to hold the event at a middle school or high school auditorium to invite several campuses.
Our students don’t speak any Spanish. Is this relevant to us? 123 Andrés performs for students at all levels of Spanish knowledge. Whether students learn a few words during the assembly, or whether they are already fluent bilinguals, our bigger goal is for them to deepen their curiosity about culture, geography and the world.
Gracias Maestro! We had a blast today with your Ss #musicinschools #duallanguage https://t.co/idfznhC1rF

How do I schedule a visit?
Email us at info@123andres.com. Please include your location and how many concerts you’d like to schedule.
The assemblies were perfect! During the assembly, our students who speak Spanish were extremely excited to see bilingual performers. All of the students were excited about the mention of music, dance, and language from their cultures or from their friends’ cultures. The staff were very appreciative about the focus on different cultures and global learning. All of them said to bring them back next year!

“Around the Americas” episodes
Four 15-minute episodes. Fast-paced and silly on the surface, these episodes are a great way to get students interested in rhythms and instruments from around Latin America, via interactive challenges they can do at home.
