Hector Anchondo live in Omaha

Experience Hector Anchondo live on September 9th

Hector Anchondo is scheduled to perform at Lauritzen Gardens/Kenefick Park in Omaha, Nebraska on September 9, 2026. Anchondo’s musical style blends traditional Mexican folk music – particularly *son jarocho* from Veracruz – with elements of jazz, classical, and contemporary sounds. He is known for his virtuosity on the *jarana jarocha*, a small, eight-stringed guitar central to *son jarocho* ensembles, and for incorporating improvisation into his performances. His work frequently explores themes of cultural identity and heritage.

Lauritzen Gardens encompasses 100 acres and features a variety of themed gardens including a rose garden, a Victorian garden, and a model railroad garden. Kenefick Park adjoins the gardens and provides additional green space. The gardens themselves were established in 1991 through a gift from the Lauritzen family and have since become a prominent botanical center for the region, focusing on plant collections and conservation efforts. Kenefick Park historically served as farmland before being developed as parkland alongside the gardens; it's often utilized for larger outdoor events due to its open space.
