Come join us for our musical afternoon with the East Bay Symphonic Band!

The flute choir evolved out of the band at Chabot College and became a group meeting at the college once a week. Both the band and flute choir that began at Chabot College continued meeting at the Odd Fellows lodge in Hayward.

San Lorenzo Library and the band would like you to enjoy and benefit from the pleasures of playing an instrument and listening to music.

The flute is a kind of meditation, improves breathing muscles, improves hand and eye coordination, improves self-confidence, improves brain functionality and more.

This is a Teen Advisory-hosted program.

Join us for a free Kung Fu & Music spectacular celebrating Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month ?????????????

The Hayward Public Library is excited to present an incredible showcase to our community. Kungfu Infinite Martial Arts School will be showcasing the talents and teamwork of our local students for the first time. These students have generously volunteered to perform at various community events, including public libraries across the Bay Area.

Tiffany, a high school senior, has been mastering the Guzheng (an ancient zither) for over five years. As a second-generation Chinese-Vietnamese-American, learning such a traditional instrument has presented its challenges. However, Tiffany‘s passion for the Guzheng has not only improved her skills but has also inspired her to discover her unique musical identity. She has graciously volunteered to perform at numerous community events, including schools, senior facilities, and libraries.

This promises to be an exceptional showcase of Kung Fu and Guzheng. Don‘t miss out – come join us!
