A Night Of Music In Memory Of David Diaz
The memory of one of Las Cruces brightest stars will be celebrated through A Night Of Music Celebrating David Diaz at the Rio Grande Theatre, June 19, 2009. Scheduled to perform on the night of the event are Diaz’ former band Nosotros, along with a Jazz Tribute and the youth band founded by Diaz in his final days, Regardless.
A native of Las Cruces, Diaz was a skilled musician and teacher who gained fame as a founding member of the award-winning Latin-influenced band, Nosotros. At the time of his passing, on April 9, 2009, he was a member of Felonious Groove Foundation and Fantastic Planet, as well as a music instructor at the Dimensions School of Dance and Music in Albuquerque. Conceived and hosted by family, friends, students, former instructors and bandmates of Diaz, the benefit will celebrate both the late musician’s memory and the legacy he created for later generations.
The event will begin at 6pm and run approximately four hours with a light dinner and dessert being served between sets. All proceeds will go to the David Diaz Music From The Heart Endowment, created to provide musical instruction and scholarships to underprivileged children and managed by the Community Foundation of Southern New Mexico. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased by calling (575) 571-7170. For more information, contact the Doña Ana Arts Council at (575) 523-6403 or visit the website at www.RioGrandeTheatre.com
