Thank you to the teachers, schools and homeschoolers who signed up for our 2020–21 Mondavi Center Virtual Events series—and to the performers who shared their artistry with us.
For the 2021–22 school year, we will continue to offer free Virtual Events that can be watched in the classroom. They are timed to celebrate Cultural Heritage months and will be announced throughout the year.
Jazzy Ash and the Leaping Lizards
Recommended for grades K-5
Available February 1-18, 2022
*Access is limited to schools in our 60-mile service area*
Celebrating Black History Month, Jazzy Ash and the Leaping Lizards introduce students to the musical stylings of zydeco, jazz, blues and swing. Fly Through My Window is an interactive concert of African American folk music throughout the centuries. Students venture on a musical journey with Jazzy Ash and her band as they clap, sing, and dance their way through black American history. The songs presented in the show, like “She’ll be Coming Round the Mountain,” “Miss Mary Mack,” and “Hambone” (featuring juba master Uncle Devin), are all originally created by regular folks - from nannies, to farmworkers, to school children just like your students! This jazzy, spirited performance is a fun introduction to the musical heritage all Americans share.
