Andes Manta will bring the music of the Andes to the University of Delaware during a performance on Friday, April 16, in Mitchell Hall. Andes Manta, a quintet performing the vibrant music of the Andes, will appear at UD at 8 p.m., Friday, April 16, in Mitchell Hall.
Hailing from Quinto, Ecuador, the quintet performs on more than 35 different instruments, ranging from 6-foot long panpipes and Andean flutes to goat toenail rattles and Spanish guitars.
Although the band neither reads nor writes music, its dynamic performance never fails to bring audiences to their feet.
The group has performed at Carnegie Hall, the Lincoln Center, the Smithsonian Institution and the Metropolitan Museum as well as for the Discovery Channel.
Tickets are $15 for the general public, $10 for UD faculty, staff, alumni and senior citizens and $6 for children 12 and under. They are available at all UD box offices. Credit card orders may be placed by calling 831-2204 or by calling Ticketmaster at (302) 984-2000, where a service charge may apply.

The University's Junior Performing Arts Series concludes at 2 p.m., Sunday, April 11, when Theatreworks USA will present Phantom of the Opera in Mitchell Hall.
The hour-long musical tells the story of the phantom who once haunted the Paris Opera House.
Based on the story by Gaston Leroux, the production unfolds in a flurry of activity that leads to an exciting conclusion when the phantom's identity is revealed and the mystery is solved.
