Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with an evening of dance and music.
The Hispanic Heritage Group at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory will host a celebration of Hispanic culture featuring music and dance performances on Friday, Sept. 20, at 6 p.m. in Berkner Hall (Bldg. 488) on the Lab site. The event is free and open to the public; however, pre-registration is required.
This event will feature Sol y Sombra Spanish Dance Company as performers present "El Ritmo," a concert featuring Argentine tango, Latin, salsa, flamenco, and Spanish dance.
Sol y Sombra, established more than 35 years ago, promotes Latin music and dance under the artistic direction of founder Maria Loreta. The company has performed around the world.
The event will showcase acclaimed artists Celia Maldonado and David Salinas, known for their mastery of Latin rhythms and contemporary dance, alongside Carolina Jaurena and Andres Bravo, renowned tango performers and instructors.

This performance is made possible in part by grants from the Suffolk County Office of Cultural Affairs, a New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) Creative Communities Grant, and the Lab’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Office.
The Laboratory is located on William Floyd Parkway (County Road 46), one and a half miles north of Exit 68 of the Long Island Expressway.
