Students from Rosie's House, a free afterschool music program, will be performing free holiday concerts.

Featuring Rosie's House's mariachi ensemble, the Mariachi Celebration Concert takes place at 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 2 at the Herberger Theater Center, 222 E. Monroe, in downtown Phoenix. The concert will celebrate the season and the rich heritage of Mexico.

For the first time, the Mariachi Celebration Concert will feature a guest performance by the professional Arizona ensemble Mariachi Pueblo Viejo.

Students from Rosie's House's strings, winds, choir, guitar and piano programs will then perform holiday music and classical favorites with the Sounds of Joy Annual Holiday Concert at 5 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 3, also at Herberger.

Both concerts are free to the public, but reservations are required. Visit https://rosieshouse.org/events/special-events/ to RSVP.
