Dear BandWith Family,
We’re excited to share the launch of our First Fridays Series on Friday, March 6.
Once a month on the first Friday, join us for a live concert that includes a community dance lesson for all ages and skill levels. Each First Fridays event features local Chicago musicians and a different genre of music.
Our March guest is René Avila’s Afro Cuban band, whose ensembles play traditional Cuban music from the Golden Ages of the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. This month’s dance lesson will be led by Latin Street Dance.

Inside the Music Library: Sound Sessions
Once a month on Saturday, the Music Library becomes a gathering space for music lovers, storytellers, and curious listeners.
Our monthly Sound Session features René Avila, who will share the Afro Cuban sounds and inspirations that have shaped his life.
Whether you are a lifelong listener or just discovering new sounds, this community-focused listening experience offers a welcoming space to explore how music connects us and preserves history.
