The Chinese Folk Art Ensemble will bring its show featuring authentic Chinese choreography, costumes and rhythm instruments to the Franco-American Heritage Center Saturday, April 26.

The performance will begin at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $12, $10 for students and seniors and $5 for children under 12. For reservations, call 689-2000. For more information, call 783-1585 or visit www.francoamericanheritage.org.
