Tres Mundos
Tres Mundos explored the multicultural mix of histories, languages, dances, and cultures that shaped the Americas. Patrons heard the music of Carnival, sang a Cuban rumba, and danced to Latin Jazz beats. Tres Mundos featured pianist/vocalist Vivianna Pintado from Cuba, percussionist Eliezer Freites-Santos from Brazil, and saxophonist/flutist Douglas Little from the United States.

The intended outcome of the music program is to allow patrons the opportunity to hear music from other cultures and from a wide variety of genres. A survey was distributed to receive feedback from those attending the programs.
Surveys were distributed to participants at all programs. 96% strongly agreed that this was an enjoyable experience and 96% strongly agreed that they would attend a similar event. Comments: "They were amazing and well received from people of all ages." "This was a great chance to hear different music." "The music was first rate." "I haven't had much exposure to this type of music. Now I want more." "This is such an amazing program, Legacy should continue."
13 libraries provided space, staff, and additional promotion for the programs and approximately 10 regional newspapers provided marketing through press releases, photos and interviews with artists and performers.
