Sol y Canto’s mission is to create music and performances that move, delight, excite and connect – connect the audience to the richness of Latin American culture; connect individuals, Hispanic and non-Hispanic, to each other through shared experience of music, poetry, humor and a joyful, playful vibe; and connect us all to our hopes and visions of a better world.
Sol y Canto is the award-winning Pan-Latin ensemble led by Puerto Rican/Argentine singer and percussionist Rosi Amador and New Mexican guitarist, singer and composer Brian Amador. Featuring Rosi’s crystalline voice and Brian’s lush Spanish guitar and inventive compositions, Sol y Canto is known for making their music accessible to Spanish- and non-Spanish speaking audiences of all ages. On occasion the group is accompanied by virtuoso musicians from Latin America and the U.S.
The Newton Centre Bowl comes alive with music and dancing for six weeks this summer in the open space adjacent to the playground and just down the hill from the Tyler Terrace hut. With free open-air seating in this vast park space, there is plenty of room for families, friends, groups large and small to come together and enjoy diverse musical styles. Bring along a blanket, a chair, a picnic dinner, and join us for these summer performances in the park!
The park is a short distance from Newton Centre where there is plenty of parking and restaurants for you to choose from. Additional parking is available on Tyler Terrace and at the Mason Rice School parking lot. The concerts start at 6pm and are cancelled or relocated in case of inclement weather. Check our website and social media for updates on any unexpected changes to the schedule.
The Performances in the Park series is made possible in part by the generous donations from Newton Community Pride, The Village Bank and The UPS Store in Newton Centre.
