ARTS CALENDAR FOR MARCH
By Jackie Peterson
The governor of Sinaloa has appointed a new head for DIFOCUR, the cultural arm of state government, who has been coming up with some last-minute decisions about attractions to be booked into the Angela Peralta Theater. He gave the theater 36 hours’ notice that a series of three concerts called “All of the Orchestra, All of the State” would begin. The idea was to send sections of the Sinaloa Symphony Orchestra out on mini concerts in various towns around the state. For example, the initial concert on Feb. 12 featured the first violinist, a viola and the orchestra’s pianist. Fortunately, the theater had no bookings for that evening, so the chamber trio played its concert — but with very little advance notice to the music loving public in Mazatlán. This month, at the Pacific Pearl’s deadline, the theater has only one attraction on its roster: a gala flamenco spectacular called “Remem-branzas.” An annual show staged by Miura Expresion Flamenca, it is set for 8:00 p.m. Saturday, March 12. But that doesn’t mean there won’t be other performances in the theater during the month. The best advice the Pacific Pearl can offer its readers is to check the theater website frequently: www.teatroangelaperalta.com, to walk by the theater and see if there are any posters regarding upcoming performances, or to find a Spanish-speaking person who can call the box office, 982-4446, and ask for current information.jackie@pacificpearl.com
