MRP’s mission is to be “Your natural choice for fine music in Queens.”MRP produces affordable, informative, and family friendly concerts featuring music that draws its inspiration from the classical, chamber, opera, jazz and world music literature. Our concerts provide a venue for talented and exciting young and established artists and we have become increasingly devoted to presenting new music by emerging composers, particularly those who have an affiliation with NYC and with our home borough of Queens. MRP fulfills its educational outreach mission with its Community Concerts for Kids, a free interactive, educational series for children and families ages 4 and up, led by teaching artists Beata Moon and MRP Artistic Director Barbara Podgurski. In addition, our artists perform at several public events every year including the 9/11 ceremonies in lower Manhattan and have also performed for Pope Francis during his Papal Visit of 2015. MRP is able to present top-notch performances each season because of the support it receives from individual and corporate sponsors in addition to partial funding from the Department of Cultural Affairs, the New York State Council on the Arts and NYC & Co. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/queens/kaoru-watanabe-bunpuku-a-celebration-of-asian-american-heritage-month/100001024028776637 - **Event Categories**: music, art, entertainment, kids, concerts, festivals, literary-art, it, music-festivals - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 23.18, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Queens - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: Church In the Gardens - **lat**: 40.7163574 - **long**: -73.8415021 - **full address**: Church In the Gardens, 50 Ascan Avenue, Queens, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Kaoru Watanabe - BUNPUKU! - A Celebration of Asian American Heritage Month - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/448b1a3efc2896f43c9113f456009dab4bbba17679f91393cc3c2ab792cce8d3-rimg-w1080-h540-dc020202-gmir.jpg?v=1727845417 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Kaoru Watanabe - BUNPUKU! - A Celebration of Asian American Heritage Month being held? - **A:** Kaoru Watanabe - BUNPUKU! - A Celebration of Asian American Heritage Month takes place on Sat, 03 May, 2025 at 07:30 pm to Sat, 03 May, 2025 at 09:00 pm at Church In the Gardens, 50 Ascan Avenue, Queens, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Kaoru Watanabe - BUNPUKU! - A Celebration of Asian American Heritage Month? - **A:** Tickets for Kaoru Watanabe - BUNPUKU! - A Celebration of Asian American Heritage Month are priced at USD 23 per person.
