Mariachi Noche Hermosa

Club Description

Founded in January 2023, Mariachi Noche Hermosa at the University of Virginia is UVA’s only mariachi band. It was created to give students interested in mariachi music the opportunity to perform it together, learn about its history and traditions, and foster connections with other members of the UVA and Charlottesville communities. The group is entirely student-run, with newer members learning the craft from older members. Members come from various backgrounds ranging from mariachi to classical to folk, though all share a love of mariachi music. The group meets twice a week to rehearse for public performances and for fun social events.
