CREM Music School in Ajijic is celebrating 35 years of teaching music to children and youth of the Ribera de Chapala with a dinner concert on Friday, November 14, at La Nueva Posada, Donato Guerra 9 in Ajijic.

Join Las Voces del Lago for an afternoon of joyful harmonies and cherished traditions at Ring the Bells!, a festive concert under the direction of Ken Turner, with Ismael Peña and Robert Thieme. Enjoy timeless favorites like “Carol of the Bells” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” alongside inspiring selections such as “Believe” and “Carry the Light.”

Stand-up comedy returns to The BRAVO! with Canadian comic Ophira Eisenberg, a Brooklyn-based comedian who’s earned recognition as “one of the top ten comics funny people find funny,” according to New York Magazine. Eisenberg has appeared on The Late Late Show, The Today Show, HBO’s Girls, Caroline’s Comedy Club, and Comedy Central.

Is it a comedy or a political thriller?  “Recipe,” currently playing at the Bravo! Theatre, can’t seem to make up its mind … which is a good thing.

The play, directed by Suki O’Brien and Randy Warren, is funny enough to keep you entertained and has plenty of shocking (and not so funny) twists to make you think.

The Voz al Viento workshop, located next door to the popular Viva Mexico restaurant in San Juan Cosala, doesn’t attract many expat visitors.

“Many don’t even notice it’s here,” says artist Isidro “Chivo” Xilonzochitl Camarena.
