TRANSCRIPT
Oct
2018
During the early 20th Century, industrialist Andrew Carnegie provided funds for the
construction of 36 public libraries throughout the State of New Jersey. Of the original six located
in Union County, the Elizabeth Public Library, which opened in 1912, remains the only
Carnegie Library Building still in use today. Join us on Saturday, October 20th, as we provide an
historical tour of this grand Carnegie Library and learn about the individuals involved in the
design and construction of this architectural gem. Tours will begin promptly at: 10:00am,
11:00am, 1:00pm, 2:00pm, and 3:00pm.

Radio Jarocho plays the rowdy, upbeat, and at times melancholic music of the countryside of Veracruz, Mexico, and has been mixing it with the sounds of New York’s urban life for over ten years. Radio Jarocho celebrate the music that unites Veracruz and New York, Mexico and the United States through original songs and new arrangements for old jarocho tunes, offering a modern take on a traditional genre by fusing it with sounds that have become part of New York City’s musical fabric — flamenco, cumbia, rock, baroque, and jazz.

Radio Jarocho Music from Veracruz, Mexico
This concert is FREE. Refreshments provided.
Made possible by funds from the Union County Office of Cultural & Heritage Affairs, a partner of the New Jersey State Council on
