Ballet Folklorico Quetzalcoatl is a Mexican folk-dance troupe that has been delighting audiences for over 35 years throughout IL, and as far as Mexico. The group's dream is to one day reach Europe. The group received its name "Quetzalcoatl" in 1983, the meaning of Quetzalcoatl originates from the ancient Mexican and northern Central American Civilizations. The name "Quetzalcoatl" literally means snake or serpent with feathers of quetzal, which implies something divine or precious in the Nahuatl language. Quetzalcoatl was the God of the wisdom of the primitive Mexicans, a God of the air or a sun God, and a benefactor of their race who instructed them in the use of agriculture and metals as well.
The Young Naperville Singers will be preforming
YNS has been in existence for 40 years of making beautiful music and growing exceptional human beings. Founded in 1984 by the late Helen Grubbs, YNS has developed into a premier community-based children’s choral music education program in Chicago’s western suburbs and the Fox River Valley. This organization has grown from its founding into a dynamic 11-choir, 450-voice nationally recognized children’s choir. The mission of YNS is to sing with excellence and to share music with the community and the world and we welcome singers from kindergarten through 12th grade. It is the belief of the YNS staff, parents and Board of Directors that singing touches the heart, stimulates the mind and sets the spirit free.
