CSN MARIACHI MAY 11
CSN Presents an evening of Mariachi Music

The Department of Fine Arts Music Program presents an evening of Mariachi Music featuring Mariachi Plata under the direction of Perry Chacon and Daniel Valdez. In just a few short years, CSN’s Mariachi Plata has earned a place as the finest collegiate Mariachi in the United States.

Mariachi Plata is comprised of students from CSN’s Mariachi Courses, part of its Fine Arts music curriculum. Founding directors Fernando and Lupe Gonzalez, led this group of highly accomplished student musicians to the very top of the mariachi world, winning the Mariachi Vargas Extravaganza competition for several years in a row. This competition, held in San Antonio, TX is widely acknowledged as the national championship of collegiate mariachi. CSN’s Plata is the first band from outside of Texas to win this prestigious title in the 28-year history of the competition.

Mariachi Plata is now under the direction of nationally renowned mariachi vocalist and guitarron artist Perry Chacon, Jr. Plata continues to be one of the points of pride of the College of Southern Nevada. They are an outstanding example of how CSN continues to empower students and communities to achieve, succeed and prosper.
